Product Details

From the back cover: This book "recaps the basic definitions and results, up to and including Lagrange's Theorem, and then continues to explore topics such as the isomorphism theorems and group actions. Later chapters include material on chain conditions and finiteness conditions, free groups and the theory of presentations. In addiction, a novel chapter of 'entertainments' takes the basic theory and plays with it to obtain an assortment of results that will show a little of what can be done with the theoretical machinery.

"Adopting the slightly irreverent tone of Geoff Smith's previous book, Introductory Mathematics: Algebra and Analysis, this book is a key reference that will both stimulate and entertain its readers.
