The Theory of Groups

by Hans J. Zassenhaus

Useful, well-written graduate level text designed to acquaint the reader with group-theoretic methods and to demonstrate their usefulness as tools in the solution of mathematical and physical problems. Covers such subjects as axioms, the calculus of complexes, homomorphic mapping, p-group theory and more. Many proofs are shorter and more transparent than older ones.

[Geoffrey Lee · Rating 2 out of 5]

The notation is awfully strange sometimes making it hard to read (especially making it hard sometimes to find where exercises end), as is the distinction between a "homomorphy" and "homomorphism" (the author seems to insist that homomorphisms be surjective homomorphisms in the usual sense).
