This textbook provides a readable account of the examples and fundamental results of groups from a theoretical and geometrical point of view. Topics on important examples of groups (like cyclic groups, permutation groups, group of arithmetical functions, matrix groups and linear groups), Lagrange's theorem, normal subgroups, factor groups, derived subgroup, homomorphism, isomorphism and automorphism of groups have been discussed in depth. Covering all major topics, this book is targeted to undergraduate students of mathematics with no prerequisite knowledge of the discussed topics. Each…mehr

This textbook provides a readable account of the examples and fundamental results of groups from a theoretical and geometrical point of view. Topics on important examples of groups (like cyclic groups, permutation groups, group of arithmetical functions, matrix groups and linear groups), Lagrange's theorem, normal subgroups, factor groups, derived subgroup, homomorphism, isomorphism and automorphism of groups have been discussed in depth. Covering all major topics, this book is targeted to undergraduate students of mathematics with no prerequisite knowledge of the discussed topics. Each section ends with a set of worked-out problems and supplementary exercises to challenge the knowledge and ability of the reader.
Autorenporträt
Bijan Davvaz is Professor at the Department of Mathematics, Yazd University, Iran. Earlier, he served as the Head of the Department of Mathematics (1998-2002), Chairman of the Faculty of Science (2004-2006), and Vice-President for Research (2006-2008) at Yazd University, Iran. He earned his Ph.D. in Mathematics with a thesis on "Topics in Algebraic Hyperstructures" from Tarbiat Modarres University, Iran, and completed his M.Sc. in Mathematics from the University of Tehran, Iran. His areas of interest include algebra, algebraic hyperstructures, rough sets and fuzzy logic. On the editorial boards for 25 mathematical journals, Prof. Davvaz has authored 6 books and over 600 research papers, especially on algebra, fuzzy logic, algebraic hyperstructures and their applications.
Rezensionen
"Advanced school students and well-motivated undergraduates can profitably read it, and it is a very useful general reference for the history of substantial parts of mathematics, placed in the context of contemporary social and political events. ... as a readable ... and refreshingly detailed account of the whole sweep of 'infinitesimal methods' from antiquity to the 1990s, this book is highly recommended." (Peter Giblin, The Mathematical Gazette, Vol. 107 (570), November, 2023)
"Davvaz's book, on the other hand, features many excellent discussions of groups of matrices. Indeed, matrix groups are used not just as examples of groups, but to help clarify and add depth to Davvaz's discussion of other families of groups. ... . It is also, in my opinion, the highlight of the book." (Benjamin Linowitz, MAA Reviews, February 20, 2022)
