This review is from: Groups and Their Graphs (New Mathematical Library 14) (Paperback)

Graphs are a superb tool for understanding groups and for some reason are not usually taught in the usual introduction to group theory. This book is strictly an elementary introduction to group theory, but I believe it is the best introduction around. If you don't know any group theory and want to get into it, start here. If you know some group theory, but not about graphs of groups, then pick this book up.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best elementary book on group theory, March 23, 2011

This review is from: Groups and Their Graphs (New Mathematical Library 14) (Paperback)

This is one of the best books for self study on group theory. It is useful as a class text book for students in high school or freshman undergraduates. Highly recommend this book along with Pinter's. Of course, if you have sound knowledge of fundamentals, this book will not be much use to you except for a few graph interpretations of groups.
