1	Finite groups more books like this by Daniel Gorenstein add to wishlist This text examines finite groups. see all copies from $22.27! new only from $65.55! \| first editions
2	Finite Group Theory more books like this by M Aschbacher add to wishlist During the last 30 years the theory of finite groups has developed dramatically. Our understanding of finite simple groups has been enhanced by their classification. Many questions about arbitrary groups can be reduced to similar questions about simple groups and applications of the theory are beginning to appear in other branches of mathematics. ... see all copies from $5.32! new only from $42.11! \| SVS
3	3-Transposition Groups more books like this by Michael Aschbacher add to wishlist In 1970 Bernd Fischer proved his beautiful theorem classifying the almost simple groups generated by 3-transpositions, and in the process discovered three new sporadic groups, now known as the Fischer groups. Since then, the theory of 3-transposition groups has become an important part of finite simple group theory, but Fischer's work has remained ... see all copies from $33.92! new only from $33.92! \| first editions \| SVS
4	Finite Reductive Groups, Related Structures and Representations more books like this by Marc Cabanes (Editor) add to wishlist This volume focuses on the representation theory of groups and related structures, combining the modular representation theory of finite groups of Richard Brauer and the representation theory of reductive groups of George Lusztig. see all copies from $5.72! new only from $112.59! \| first editions \| SVS
5	Classes of Finite Groups. more books like this by Adolfo Ballester-Bolinches add to wishlist Many group theorists all over the world have been trying in the last twenty-five years to extend and adapt the magnificent methods of the Theory of Finite Soluble Groups to the more ambitious universe of all finite groups.

7	Linear Representations of Finite Groups more books like this by Jean-Pierre Serre add to wishlist This book consists of three parts, rather different in level and purpose. The first part was originally written for quantum chemists. It describes the correspondence, due to Frobenius, between linear representations and characters. This is a fundamental result of constant use in mathematics as well as in quantum chemistry or physics. The examples ... see all copies from $38.85! new only from $48.62! \| first editions \| SVS
8	Theory of Finite Groups more books like this by Hans Kurzweil, Bernd Stellmacher add to wishlist From reviews of the German edition: 'This is an exciting text and a refreshing contribution to an area in which challenges continue to flourish and to captivate the viewer. Even though representation theory and constructions of simple groups have been omitted, the text serves as a springboard for deeper study in many directions. One who completes ... see all copies from $31.50! new only from $52.64! \| first editions \| SVS

12	Whitehead groups of finite groups more books like this by Oliver add to wishlist This book's aim is to make accessible techniques for studying Whitehead groups of finite groups, as well as a variety of related topics such as induction theory and p-adic logarithms. The author has included a lengthy introduction to set the scene for non-specialists who want an overview of the field, its history and its applications. The rest of ... see all copies from $27.50! new only from $86.02! \| first editions \| SVS
13 view cover	Rotations, Quaternions, and Double Groups more books like this by Simon L Altmann add to wishlist Quaternions are a simple and powerful tool for handling rotations and double groups. This book gives a complete treatment of finite point groups as subgroups of the full rotation group and emphasizes geometrical and topological methods which permit a unique definition of the quaternion parameters for all operations of such groups. An important ... see all copies from $9.40! new only from $10.75! \| SVS

Randomly choose two cards and switch them. How many switches are needed in order to mix up the deck? Starting from a few concrete problems such as random walks on the discrete circle and the finite ultrametric space this book develops the necessary tools for the asymptotic analysis of these processes. This ... see all copies from $56.95! new only from $59.33!
