This textbook offers students with a basic understanding of group theory a preview of several interesting groups they would not typically encounter until later

Many are familiar with the beauty and ubiquity of fractal forms within nature. Unlike the study of smooth forms such as spheres, fractal geometry describes more

This graduate-level text provides a thorough grounding in the representation theory of finite groups over fields and rings. The book provides a balanced and com
