A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

From the PREFACE.
THIS book aims at introducing the reader to more advanced treatises and original papers on Groups of finite order. The subject requires for its study only an elementary knowledge of Algebra (especially Theory of Numbers), but the average student may nevertheless find the many excellent existing treatises rather stiff reading. I have tried to lighten for him the initial difficulties, and to show that even the most recent developments of pure Mathematics are not necessarily beyond the reach of the ordinary mathematical reader.
I have omitted as far as possible lengthy and difficult investigations; their place is, taken by an unusually numerous selection of examples. Students who have had no previous acquaintance with the subject should work a few of these examples after reading each section. Many of them can be solved at sight, and are inserted merely to make the reader familiar with the definitions and theorems of the text. Hints for the solution of the rest will be found at the end of the book.
In an elementary treatise references would be out of place; for complete lists the reader may consult Easton's Constructive Development of Group-Theory (Philadelphia University, 1902), and Miller's 'Reports on Group-Theory' in Bulletin Amer. Math. Soc., v (1899), p. 227; vii (1900), p. 121 ; ix (1902), p. 106; xiv (1907), pp. 78, 124….

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
