Lyndon, Roger C.,
Groups and Geometry / Groups & Geometry Roger C. Lyndon. - Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 1985. - 1 online resource (230 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). - London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series ; no. 101 . - London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series ; no. 101. .
Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 16 Oct 2015).
This book, which was originally published in 1985 and has been translated and revised by the author from notes of a course, is an introduction to certain central ideas in group theory and geometry. Professor Lyndon emphasises and exploits the well-known connections between the two subjects and, whilst keeping the presentation at a level that assumes only a basic background in mathematics, leads the reader to the frontiers of current research at the time of publication. The treatment is concrete and combinatorial with a minimal use of analytic geometry. In the interest of the reader's intuition, most of the geometry considered is two-dimensional and there is an emphasis on examples, both in the text and in the problems at the end of each chapter.
