The early sections of the book show how the rules of group theory emerge naturally from solving puzzles. Different classes of groups, such as cyclic, dihedral and permutation groups are introduced, accompanied by numerous puzzles to facilitate the understanding of the underlying group structures. Later chapters explain how further group theory principles can be applied to puzzle-solving. This book is intended as a highly motivating supplementary text for an undergraduate abstract algebra course. It is also ideal for anyone seeking a fun, hands-on approach to learning group theory. Additionally, the book's many puzzles will be enjoyable for readers already familiar with group theory. 410 0$aSUMS Readings,$x2730-5821 606 $aGroup theory 606 $aMathematics 606 $aGroup Theory and Generalizations 606 $aGeneral Mathematics 615 0$aGroup theory. 615 0$aMathematics. 615 14$aGroup Theory and Generalizations. 615 24$aGeneral Mathematics. 676 $a512.2 700 $aNacin$b David$01766785 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910897980303321 996 $aThe Group Theory Puzzle Book$94211509 997 $aUNINA
