Description:
These are notes of a mini-course of group theory for high school students that I gave in the Summer of 2009. This mini-course covers the most basic parts of group theory with many examples and applications. The notes contain many exercises, which are necessary for understanding the main text.

Why are Braids Orderable?
by Patrick Dehornoy, at al.
This book is an account of several quite different approaches to Artin's braid groups, involving self-distributive algebra, uniform finite trees, combinatorial group theory, mapping class groups, laminations, and hyperbolic geometry.

Groups and Semigroups: Connections and Contrasts
by John Meakin - University of Nebraska-Lincoln
In the present paper, I will discuss some of these connections between group theory and semigroup theory, and I will also discuss some rather surprising contrasts between the theories. I will focus primarily on the theory of inverse semigroups.

Galois Groups and Fundamental Groups
by David Meredith - San Francisco State University
This course brings together two areas of mathematics that each concern symmetry -- symmetry in algebra, in the case of Galois theory; and symmetry in geometry, in the case of fundamental groups. Prerequisites are courses in algebra and analysis.
