Synopsis

This volume attempts to address the problem of mathematics undergraduates finding the study of group theory difficult due to its highly abstract and theoretical presentation. No prior knowledge of group theory is assumed, and the book begins by looking at arithmetic in number systems, vectors and matrices; of permutations and how they can be treated mathematically; and of symmetry. In later chapters, with the aid of exercises integrated within the text, some of the standard properties of groups are proved.
