Finite Group Theory Paperback / softback
by M. (California Institute of Technology) Aschbacher
Part of the Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics series
Paperback / softback
Description
During the last 40 years the theory of finite groups has developed dramatically.
The finite simple groups have been classified and are becoming better understood.
Tools exist to reduce many questions about arbitrary finite groups to similar questions about simple groups.
Since the classification there have been numerous applications of this theory in other branches of mathematics.
Finite Group Theory develops the foundations of the theory of finite groups.
It can serve as a text for a course on finite groups for students already exposed to a first course in algebra.
It could supply the background necessary to begin reading journal articles in the field.
For specialists it also provides a reference on the foundations of the subject.
This second edition has been considerably improved with a completely rewritten Chapter 15 considering the 2-Signalizer Functor Theorem, and the addition of an appendix containing solutions to exercises.
