Partially Ordered Algebraic Systems

Originally published in an important series of books on pure and applied mathematics this monograph by a distinguished mathematician explores a high-level area in algebra. It constitutes the first systematic summary of research concerning partially ordered groups semigroups rings and fields. <br>The self-contained treatment features numerous problems complete proofs a detailed bibliography and indexes. It presumes some knowledge of abstract algebra providing necessary background and references where appropriate. This inexpensive edition of a hard-to-find systematic survey will fill a gap in many individual and institutional libraries.
