Description

A First Course in Group Theory by Bijan Davvaz provides a comprehensive introduction to groups from both theoretical and geometrical perspectives. This textbook covers fundamental results and important examples, including cyclic groups, permutation groups, matrix groups, and linear groups, with a focus on undergraduate mathematics students without prior knowledge of the topics. The book delves into key concepts such as Lagrange's theorem, normal subgroups, factor groups, derived subgroup, homomorphism, isomorphism, and automorphism of groups. Each section concludes with worked-out problems and supplementary exercises to challenge readers' understanding and skills. Suitable for undergraduate mathematics students, this textbook offers a readable account of group theory, making it an ideal resource for those looking to develop their knowledge in this area.
