Smarandache Semigroupsby W. B. Vasantha Kandasamy - American Research Press
The Smarandache semigroups exhibit properties of both a group and a semigroup simultaneously. This book assumes the reader to have a good background on group theory; we give some recollection about groups and some of its properties for reference.
