More DescriptionThis book is an excellent and self-contained introduction to the theory of groups, covering all topics likely to be encountered in undergraduate courses. In recent years there has been a great deal of research in group theory and a large number of books have been published. However, most of these are aimed at the postgraduate market and a good introductory text is hard to find.
