The algebraic and geometric theory of quadratic forms / Richard Elman, Nikita Karpenko, Alexander Merkurjev. - Providence, R.I. : American Mathematical Society, c2008. - 435 p. : ill. ; 27 cm. - Colloquium publications, v. 56. 0065-9258 ; . - Colloquium publications (American Mathematical Society) ; v. 56. .
Includes bibliographical references (p. 421-426) and index.
"This book is a comprehensive study of the algebraic theory of quadratic forms, from classical theory to recent developments, including results and proofs that have never been published. The book is written from the viewpoint of algebraic geometry and includes the theory of quadratic forms over fields of characteristic two, with proofs that are characteristic independent whenever possible. For some results both classical and geometric proofs are given."--BOOK JACKET.
