Fundamentals of Group Theory An Advanced Approach

“This is an introductory textbook on group theory which covers its fundamentals in great detail. … What distinguishes the treatment of group theory from that usually given in algebra textbooks is the very detailed presentation. … This charming volume has much to recommend itself.” (Monatshefte für Mathematik, 2015)

“This is a text aimed at graduate students. Its 350 pages or so cover more than enough to teach a year-long course on ‘general group theory’ (meaning here both finite and infinite groups). Most standard topics are covered … in a fresh manner, by insisting on lesser known aspects and by providing newer, more elegant proofs. An adequate collection of proposed exercises comes at the end of each chapter … .” (Marian Deaconescu, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1244, 2012)
