Description
Groups A Path to Geometry by R. P. Burn is an in-depth study guide that enables readers to explore group theory through a carefully constructed sequence of questions.
The book covers various topics, including vector spaces, linear groups, complex numbers, Möbius transformations, and stereographic projection. It also delves into quaternions and their relationships with 3-dimensional isometries, before concluding with an analysis of crystallographic groups in two dimensions.
