Faithfully quadratic rings /

In this monograph we extend the classical algebraic theory of quadratic forms over fields to diagonal quadratic forms with invertible entries over broad classes of commutative, unitary rings where -1 is not a sum of squares and 2 is invertible. We accomplish this by: (1) Extending the classical noti...
