| Description: | The only book of its kind written specifically for undergraduates which explains the links between these two important mathematical groups. The authors explain these links by recourse to symmetry, a study of groups providing a good means of measuring geometrical symmetry. Available for the first time in published form, Groups and Geometry presents the Oxford Mathematical Institute notes for undergraduates and first year postgraduates. The content is guided by the Oxford syllabus but includes much more material than is included on the syllabus. This book is about the measurement of symmetry: covering groups and geometry with the symbiotic relationship between the two more than justifying the union. A number of exercises are included in this sylish text to help the reader gain a full understanding of this branch of mathematics. |
