In addition to foundational material, the book contains the theory of permutation groups, linear groups, p-groups, nilpotent groups and solvable groups, as well as the transfer homomorphism and ordinary representation theory. All topics are fully developed and accessible to students with a basic knowledge of algebra. Its comprehensive coverage and inclusion of more advanced topics make this self-contained treatise an invaluable resource for graduate students and researchers.
