Introduction to Group Theory

![Other An Introduction to Group Theory](/images/book_cover_new/Other_An%20Introduction%20to%20Group%20Theory.jpg)
With its many examples, exercises, and full solutions to selected exercises, this text provides a gentle introduction that is ideal for self-study and an excellent preparation for applications. A distinguished feature of the presentation is that algebraic and geometric techniques are balanced. The beautiful theory of train tracks is illustrated by two nontrivial examples.
Presupposing only a basic knowledge of algebra, the book is addressed to anyone interested in group theory: from advanced undergraduate and graduate students to specialists.
Reviews
The text should be welcomed by those who want exposure to the application of group theory within a nonstandard geometric environment.
