Book cover: An Elementary Introduction to Group TheoryAn Elementary Introduction to Group Theory
by - AMS ,
The theory of groups is a branch of mathematics in which we study the concept of binaryoperations. Group theory has many applications in physics and chemistry, and is potentially applicable in any situation characterized by symmetry.

Book cover: An Introduction to the Theory of Groups of Finite OrderAn Introduction to the Theory of Groups of Finite Order
by - Oxford Clarendon Press ,

Book cover: Groups and Semigroups: Connections and ContrastsGroups and Semigroups: Connections and Contrasts
