The theory of D-modules is a rich area of study combining ideas
from algebra and differential equations, and it has significant
applications to diverse areas such as singularity theory and
representation theory. This book introduces D-modules and their
applications, avoiding all unnecessary technicalities. The author
takes an algebraic approach, concentrating on the role of the Weyl
algebra. The author assumes very few prerequisites, and the book is
virtually self-contained. The author includes exercises at the end
of each chapter and gives the reader ample references to the more
advanced literature. This is an excellent introduction to D-modules
for all who are new to this area.
