Presupposing only a basic knowledge of modern algebra, it introduces the reader to the different branches of group theory and to its principal accomplishments. While stressing the unity of group theory, the book also draws attention to connections with other areas of algebra such as ring theory and homological algebra. This new edition has been updated at various points, some proofs have been improved, and lastly about thirty additional exercises are included. There are three main additions to the book. In the chapter on group extensions an exposition of Schreier's concrete approach via factor sets is given before the introduction of covering groups. This seems to be desirable on pedagogical grounds. Then S. Thomas's elegant proof of the automorphism tower theorem is included in the section on complete groups. Finally an elementary counterexample to the Burnside problem due to N.D. Gupta has been added in the chapter on finiteness properties. 410 0$aGraduate Texts in Mathematics,$x0072-5285 ;$v80 606 $aGroup theory 606 $aGroup Theory and Generalizations$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M11078 615 0$aGroup theory. 615 14$aGroup Theory and Generalizations. 676 $a512/.2 700 $aRobinson$b Derek J.S$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$050208 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480757003321 996 $aCourse in the theory of groups$9376290 997 $aUNINA
