What is The Theory of Finite Groups: An Introduction (Universitext) about?
I don't think I could come up with enough superlatives to describe just how good this text really is. Both authors have done an excellent job describing as well as motivating the subject and have subsequently turned me into an avid fan of the theory of finite groups. What I find disappointing is my assumption that the available pool of readers is more like a shallow puddle. This can easily be seen from the fact that, as thriving of a subject finite groups may be, it does not appear in the course catalog of most academic institutions. It would be nice to see this book adopted as a seniors honor course for undergraduates or as an advanced algebra course for graduate students looking to specialize in matters algebraic. Now, off my soap box. Without a doubt this text will become another classic in the field of finite groups, akin to Gorenstein's. So who can read this text? Well, as un-original as it is, the mathematically mature and, more importantly, anyone who has taken an Algebra course that covered the standard basics of group theory. To be exact, if you learned Algebra using Hungerford's text, then you should be adequately prepared for this book. Of course this assumes you have se
