#paperback#mathematics#math#vintage#textbook#mathematicaltheory "This handy book explains for you the theory of groups, and examines fundamental theorems and their application. Beginning with discussions of sets, systems, groups, permutations, isomorphism, and similar topics, the author progresses in easy stages through the important types of groups. Except for a single chapter when an understanding of theory of matrices is helpful, no knowledge of higher mathematics is necessary for the reader to follow the author's presentation. Connections are established by Professor Carmichael between the theory of finite groups and other domains of classical and modern mathematics." This book is in good vintage condition, with some wear on the spine, underlining, and some notes in the margins. Original copyright 1937, this edition was published in 1956.
