Online resources: Summary: This book is intended for students who find the kind of reasoning in abstract mathematics courses unfamiliar and need extra support in this transition to advanced mathematics. The book aims to help students with the transition from concrete to abstract mathematical thinking. The book gives a number of examples of groups and subgroups, including permutation groups, dihedral groups, and groups of integer residue classes. The book goes on to study co-sets and finishes with The First Isomorphism Theorem. Very little background knowledge on the part of the reader is assumed. Some facility in algebraic manipulation is required, and a working knowledge of some of the properties of integers, such as knowing how to factorize integers into prime factors. This book is written in a reader-friendly conversational style. Complete solutions are given to all exercisesPPN: PPN: 1032083468Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-4-NLEBK
