Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Theory of Groups of Finite Order The nomenclature of the subject is by no means settled. I have tried to select definitions which have the advantage of being either self-explanatory (e. G. Greatest common subgroup or concise normal but the task was not at all easy. I have treated the pure group-theory with greater thoroughness than the applications. The aim of chapters H, hi, IV, VI, VII, VIII is to stimulate interest, rather than to give a complete or rigid investigation of the subjects there dealt with. On a first reading the student may omit, if he chooses, chapters hi, IV, VII, VIII, XIV, XV, and the last section of Chapter V.
