Synopsis:

Anyone who has studied abstract and linear algebra as an undergraduate will have the background to understand this book. The first six chapters provide ample material for a first course, beginning with the basic properties of groups and homomorphisms. The next section of text uses the Jordan-Holder Theorem to organize a discussion of extensions and simple groups. The book closes with three chapters on infinite Abelian groups, free groups and a complete proof of the unsolvability of the word problem for finitely presented groups.
