Zassenhaus. 180 pages. 6x9. (An English translation of the famous German textbook).
$3.50
The tremendous development of algebra in the last 25 years has made long overdue a fresh presentation of group theory which would make use of modern methods and concepts.
"The treatment here presented achieves a certain unity which the classical presentation lacked. . . . This method of approach is likely to appear more coherent than the former to students approaching groups hi detail for the first time."
