Squares (London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series, Series Number 171)

London Mathematical Society Lecture Note #171

by A.R. Rajwade

This work is a self-contained treatise on the research conducted on squares by Pfister, Hilbert, Hurwitz, and others. Many classical and modern results and quadratic forms are brought together in this book, and the treatment requires only a basic knowledge of rings, fields, polynomials, and matrices. The author deals with many different approaches to the study of squares, from the classical works of the late nineteenth century, to areas of current research.
