This book provides a concise survey of the theory of zero product-determined algebras, which has been developed over the last 15 years. It is divided into three parts. The first part presents the purely algebraic branch of the theory, the second part presents the functional analytic branch, and the third part discusses various applications.

The book is intended for researchers and graduate students in ring theory, Banach algebra theory, and nonassociative algebra.

Provides the first systematic account of the theory of zero product determined algebras Presents applications to various problems in algebra and functional analysis Discusses a wide variety of mathematical topics in an accessible manner
