Hahn\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at the University of Notre Dame. His research over the years has had a focus on the following algebraic concerns: Orthogonal groups and other classical matrix groups both over fields, integral domains and in number theoretic situations, and related structures such as Clifford algebras, Azumaya algebras, quadratic and Hermitian forms and their Witt groups, and linear and Hermitian K-Theory. In the last few years Dr. Hahn has become interested in the history of mathematics and science. In addition to this present book, Alexander Hahn's books published with Springer include: \u003ci\u003eThe Classical Groups and K-Theory\u003c\/i\u003e (Grundlehren); \u003ci\u003eQuadratic Algebras\u003c\/i\u003e (Universitext); \u003ci\u003eBasic Calculus: From Archimedes to Newton to its Role in Science\u003c\/i\u003e (TiM).
