Finite group theory is remarkable for the simplicity of its statements- and the difficulty of their proofs. It is essential in several branches of mathematics, notably number theory. Finite Groups: An Introduction is an elementary textbook on finite group theory. Written by the eminent French mathematician Jean-Pierre Serre (a principle contributor to algebraic geometry, group theory and number theory), this brand-new textbook is based upon a course given by Serrs st I'Ecole Normale Superieure de Jeunes Filles, Paris in 1978-1979. Each of the ten chapters is followed by a series of exercises.
