![Book cover: An Elementary Introduction to Group Theory](images/12250.jpg)
by M. E. Charkani - AMS , 2018
The theory of groups is a branch of mathematics in which we study the concept of binaryoperations. Group theory has many applications in physics and chemistry, and is potentially applicable in any situation characterized by symmetry.
