Problems in Group Theory

Rating:
Summary: Just Buy It !!
Review: Don't waste too much time deciding whether or not to purchase this little gem, JUST BUY IT!!. Considering the retail price (thanks Dover) you will definitly get much more than your moneys worth out of this book. So why four stars? I chose to rate Dixon's text at the level of fours stars because of my selfish desire of wishing Dixon had included more problems. It actually deserves five stars. Dixon has done an excellent job of compiling a relatively wide assortment of problems (from subgroups to representations), some problems are routine, some clever, some subtle and some difficult. But all together, the provided assortment of problems in this book have been a complete joy to work through and I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in group theory, to those who enjoy straining their brains while working through mathematical problems and to those graduate students who are studying for qualifying exams.
