Title: Groups and Symmetry ([EBook]) / by M. A. Armstrong. Dewey Class: 512.2 Author: Armstrong, Mark Anthony Publication: New York, NY : Springer, 1988. Other name(s): SpringerLink (Online service) Physical Details: XI, 187 pages : online resource. Series: Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics,0172-6056 ISBN: 9781475740349 System details note: Online access to this digital book is restricted to subscription institutions through IP address (only for SISSA internal users) Summary Note: Groups are important because they measure symmetry. This text, designed for undergraduate mathematics students, provides a gentle introduction to the highlights of elementary group theory. Written in an informal style, the material is divided into short sections each of which deals with an important result or a new idea. Throughout the book, the emphasis is placed on concrete examples, many of them geometrical in nature, so that finite rotation groups and the seventeen wallpaper groups are treated in detail alongside theoretical results such as Lagrange's theorem, the Sylow theorems, and the classification theorem for finitely generated abelian groups. A novel feature at this level is a proof of the Nielsen-Schreier theorem, using group actions on trees. There are more than three hundred exercises and approximately sixty illustrations to help develop the student's intuition.: Contents note: 1 Symmetries of the Tetrahedron -- 2 Axioms -- 3 Numbers -- 4 Dihedral Groups -- 5 Subgroups and Generators -- 6 Permutations -- 7 Isomorphisms -- 8 Plato’s Solids and Cayley’s Theorem -- 10 Products -- 11 Lagrange’s Theorem -- 12 Partitions -- 13 Cauchy’s Theorem -- 14 Conjugacy -- 15 Quotient Groups -- 16 Homomorphisms -- 17 Actions, Orbits, and Stabilizers -- 18 Counting Orbits -- 19 Groups -- 20 The Sylow Theorems -- 21 Finitely Generated Abelian Groups -- 22 Row and Column Operations -- 23 Automorphisms -- 24 The Euclidean Group -- 25 Lattices and Point Groups -- 26 Wallpaper Patterns -- 27 Free Groups and Presentations -- 28 Trees and the Nielsen-Schreier Theorem. ------------------------------ *** There are no holdings for this record *** -----------------------------------------------
