A Course on Finite Groups

A Course on Finite Groups introduces the fundamentals of group theory to advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students. Based on a series of lecture courses developed by the author over many years, the book starts with the basic definitions and examples and develops the theory to the point where a number of classic theorems can be proved. The topics covered include: Lagrange’s theorem; group constructions; homomorphisms and isomorphisms; actions; Sylow theory, products and Abelian group
