Description
This text provides an introduction to group theory with an emphasis on clear examples. The authors present groups as naturally occurring
structures arising from symmetry in geometrical figures and other mathematical objects. Written in a 'user-friendly' style, where new
ideas are always motivated before being fully introduced, the text will help readers to gain confidence and skill in handling group theory
notation before progressing on to applying it in complex situations. An ideal companion to any first or second year course on the topic.
Audience
First and second year mathematics undergraduates. Also invaluable to undergraduate physicists and engineers.
