Summary:

Khalkhali (U. of Western Ontario, Canada) and Marcolli (Max Planck Institute for Mathematics, Germany) offer a volume that contains eight lectures that were given at the International Workshop on Noncommutative Geometry at the Institute for Studies in Theoretical Physics and Mathematics in Tehran in 2005. Lectures, by a group of European and North American mathematicians and physicists, were addressed to graduate and postdoctoral students in these subjects. They discuss operator algebras and differential noncommutative geometry, research directions in the field, categories and algebraic noncommutative geometry, and applications of the subject to physics. There is no index. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
