This concept is critical to physicists and mathematicians working in discrete mathematics, simple groups, and algebraic group theory, to name just a few areas.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Almost twenty years after its original publication, Mark Ronan's \u003ci\u003eLectures on Buildings\u003c\/i\u003e remains one of the best introductory texts on the subject. A thorough, concise introduction to mathematical buildings, it contains problem sets and an excellent bibliography that will prove invaluable to students new to the field. \u003ci\u003eLectures on Buildings\u003c\/i\u003e will find a grateful audience among those doing research or teaching courses on Lie-type groups, on finite groups, or on discrete groups.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \"Ronan's account of the classification of affine buildings [is] both interesting and stimulating, and his book is highly recommended to those who already have some knowledge and enthusiasm for the theory of buildings.\"-\u003ci\u003eBulletin of the London Mathematical Society\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMark Ronan\u003c\/b\u003e is Emeritus Professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago and Honorary Professor of Mathematics at University College, London.
