1	Combinatorial Methods: Free Groups, Polynomials, and Free Algebras more books like this by Vladimir Shpilrain, Alexander Mikhalev, Jie-Tai Yu add to wishlist The main purpose of this book is to show how ideas from combinatorial group theory have spread to two other areas of mathematics: the theory of Lie algebras and affine algebraic geometry. Some of these ideas, in turn, came to combinatorial group theory from low-dimensional topology at the beginning of the 20th Century. This book is divided into ... see all copies from $2.78! new only from $2.78! \| first editions
2	Classical Topology and Combinatorial Group Theory more books like this by John Stillwell add to wishlist This is a well-balanced introduction to topology that stresses geometric aspects. Focusing on historical background and visual interpretation of results, it emphasizes spaces with few dimensions, where visualization is possible, and interaction with combinatorial group theory via the fundamental group. It also present algorithms for topological ... see all copies from $19.75! new only from $69.21! \| SVS
3	Media Theory: Interdisciplinary Applied Mathematics more books like this by David Eppstein, Jean-Claude Falmagne, Sergei Ovchinnikov add to wishlist The focus of this book is a mathematical structure modeling a physical or biological system that can be in any of a number of 'states.' Each state is characterized by a set of binary features, and differs from some other neighbor state or states by just one of those feature. A simple example of a 'state' is a partial solution of a jigsaw puzzle, ... see all copies from $19.99! new only from $19.99! \| first editions \| SVS
4	Algebraic Generalizations of Discrete Groups: A Path to Combinatorial Group Theory Through One-Relator Products more books like this by Benjamin Fine, Gerhard Rosenberger add to wishlist A survey of one-relator products of cyclics or groups with a single defining relation, extending the algebraic study of Fuchsian groups to the more general context of one-relator products and related group theoretical considerations. It provides a self-contained account of certain natural generalizations of discrete groups. see all copies from $7.80! new only from $89.91! \| SVS
5	Combinatorial Group Theory and Applications to Geometry more books like this by D. J. Collins, A. I. Kostrikin (Editor), I. R.

6	Combinatorial group theory a topological approach more books like this by Cohen add to wishlist In this book, developed from courses taught at the University of London, the author aims to show the value of using topological methods in combinatorial group theory. The topological material is given in terms of the fundamental groupoid, giving results and proofs that are both stronger and simpler than the traditional ones. Several chapters deal ... see all copies from $39.41! new only from $48.82! \| first editions \| SVS

9	Two-dimensional homotopy and combinatorial group theory more books like this by Hog-Angeloni, Metzler, Sieradski add to wishlist Basic work on two-dimensional homotopy theory dates back to K. Reidemeister and J. H. C. Whitehead. Much work in this area has been done since then, and this book considers the current state of knowledge in all the aspects of the subject. The editors start with introductory chapters on low-dimensional topology, covering both the geometric and ... see all copies from $65.07! new only from $77.49! \| SVS
10	Combinatorial Group Testing and Its Appl more books like this by Ding-Zhu Du, F K Hwang add to wishlist Group testing has been used in medical, chemical and electrical testing, coding, drug screening, pollution control, multiaccess channel management, and more recently in data verification, clone library screening and AIDS testing. The mathematical model can be either combinatorial or probabilistic. This work is a summary of all important results ... see all copies from $39.39! new only from $66.96!
11 view cover	Topics in combinatorial group theory more books like this by Gilbert Baumslag add to wishlist Combinatorial group theory is a loosely defined subject, with close connections to topology and logic. With surprising frequency, problems in a wide variety of disciplines, including differential equations, automorphic functions and geometry, have been distilled into explicit questions about groups, typically of the following kind: Are the groups ... see all copies from $13.39! new only from $37.12! \| SVS
12 view cover	Computation with Finitely Presented Groups more books like this by Sims add to wishlist Research in computational group theory, an active subfield of computational algebra, has emphasized three areas: finite permutation groups, finite solvable groups, and finitely presented groups. This book deals with the third of these areas. It is the first text to present the fundamental algorithmic ideas which have been developed to compute with ... see all copies from $168.63! new only from $168.63! \| SVS
