Exploring such questions must be the joint responsibility of policy-makers, pre-and in-service providers and, perhaps most iLeadershipSchool principalsElectronic books.Leadership.School principals.Walker Allan915068MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450710903321Beginning the principalship2050831UNINA03498nam 22006732 450 991078237840332120160226104847.01-107-20152-71-281-79121-097866117912161-139-16750-20-511-42394-20-511-42442-60-511-42279-20-511-42213-X0-511-42345-4(CKB)1000000000542549(EBL)355472(OCoLC)476178569(SSID)ssj0000165952(PQKBManifestationID)11156872(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000165952(PQKBWorkID)10147208(PQKB)11226728(UkCbUP)CR9781139167505(MiAaPQ)EBC355472(Au-PeEL)EBL355472(CaPaEBR)ebr10250543(CaONFJC)MIL179121(PPN)140884785(EXLCZ)99100000000054254920111007d2008|||| uy| 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierGroups, graphs, and trees an introduction to the geometry of infinite groups /John Meier[electronic resource]Cambridge :Cambridge University Press,2008.1 online resource (xi, 231 pages) digital, PDF file(s)London Mathematical Society student texts ;73Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).0-521-71977-1 0-521-89545-6 Includes bibliographical references and index.Preface -- Cayley's theorems -- Groups generated by reflections -- Groups acting on trees -- Baumslag-Solitar groups -- Words and Dehn's word problem -- A finitely-generated, infinite, Torsion group -- Regular languages and normal forms -- The Lamplighter group -- The geometry of infinite groups -- Thompson's group -- The large-scale geometry of groups.Presenting groups in a formal, abstract algebraic manner is both useful and powerful, yet it avoids a fascinating geometric perspective on group theory - which is also useful and powerful, particularly in the study of infinite groups. This book presents the modern, geometric approach to group theory, in an accessible and engaging approach to the subject. Topics include group actions, the construction of Cayley graphs, and connections to formal language theory and geometry. Theorems are balanced by specific examples such as Baumslag-Solitar groups, the Lamplighter group and Thompson's group. Only exposure to undergraduate-level abstract algebra is presumed, and from that base the core techniques and theorems are developed and recent research is explored. Exercises and figures throughout the text encourage the development of geometric intuition. Ideal for advanced undergraduates looking to deepen their understanding of groups, this book will also be of interest to graduate students and researchers as a gentle introduction to geometric group theory.London Mathematical Society student texts ;73.Groups, Graphs & TreesInfinite groupsInfinite groups.512/.2Meier John1965-1545596UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910782378403321Groups, graphs, and trees3800600UNINA
