A First Course in Group Theory Summary

A First Course in Group Theory by Bijan Davvaz

This textbook provides a readable account of the examples and fundamental results of groups from a theoretical and geometrical point of view. Topics on important examples of groups (like cyclic groups, permutation groups, group of arithmetical functions, matrix groups and linear groups), Lagrange's theorem, normal subgroups, factor groups, derived subgroup, homomorphism, isomorphism and automorphism of groups have been discussed in depth. Covering all major topics, this book is targeted to undergraduate students of mathematics with no prerequisite knowledge of the discussed topics. Each section ends with a set of worked-out problems and supplementary exercises to challenge the knowledge and ability of the reader.

A First Course in Group Theory Reviews

Davvaz's book, on the other hand, features many excellent discussions of groups of matrices. Indeed, matrix groups are used not just as examples of groups, but to help clarify and add depth to Davvaz's discussion of other families of groups. ... . It is also, in my opinion, the highlight of the book. (Benjamin Linowitz, MAA Reviews, February 20, 2022)
