The concept of near-rings of homogeneous functions arose out of the study of centralizer near-rings, of which they are a special case. The author, with Kirby Smith and many others, has been at the forefront of this area of the theory of near-rings from the beginning and presents here a very useful survey of the subject. If \(G\) is an additive group, \(S\) a semigroup of endomorphisms of \(G\) then we denote by \(M_S(G)\) the near-ring of all functions from \(G\) to \(G\) commuting with \(S\), under pointwise addition and function composition. This concept is very basic in near-rings as is shown by the results covered under ``PAST. The major basic results are all quoted here. Moving on to the ``PRESENT, Professor Maxson considers the near-rings of the title, namely \(M_R(V)\) where \(V\) is a finite module over a finite semisimple ring \(R\). The main theme is the relationship between \(M_R(V)\) and the \(R\)-endomorphisms of \(V\). There is a very interesting interplay between the properties of \(R\) and \(V\) and those of the near-rings. Various interesting classes of rings are considered, and so are corresponding classes of modules. In many cases the finiteness conditions are removed. Many ring properties prove to be of interest, connecting to properties of the near-ring. Finally a look ahead in ``PREDICTIONS opens up a whole host of problems to be studied. This is a well-written and very interesting survey of one of the liveliest areas of present work in near-rings. The bibliography is quite extensive. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0874.00036].
