Everything from Einstein’s theory of relativity to the inner workings of electrons, protons, and quarks are encoded in the language of group theory. This book on finite group theory is a great resource for both undergraduate and graduate students in the mathematical sciences. It will also be found indispensable by anyone serious about acquiring a fundamental understanding of our physical world.
