Product Description:
The theory of abstract groups comes into play in an astounding number of seemingly unconnected areas like crystallography and quantum mechanics, geometry and topology, analysis and algebra, physics, chemistry and even biology. Readers need only know high school mathematics, much of which is reviewed here, to grasp this important subject. Hundreds of problems with detailed solutions illustrate the text, making important points easy to understand and remember.
Summary: An excellent way to learn group theory
Rating: 5
This is another of the Schaum's outline books that helped me launch my career. I was taking a master's level course in abstract algebra and was loaded down with homework problems. After struggling to get one assignment done, I went to the local bookstore and purchased this book. My performance immediately improved. I found a few of the homework problems in this book, but the main advantage was that there were similar problems that I could work through and understand. From this, it was a relatively simple matter to execute a similar proof to solve the problem I was given. My final grade was an A and it wasn't even close.
