Book Description
Positivity is one of the most basic mathematical concepts, involved in many areas of mathematics (analysis, real algebraic geometry, functional analysis, etc.). The main objective of the book is to give useful characterizations of polynomials. Beyond basic knowledge in algebra, only valuation theory as explained in the appendix is needed.

Editorial Review
This is a nicely written introduction to `reality' and `positivity' in rings, and besides students and researchers it can also be interesting for anyone who would like to learn more on positivity and orderings.
