Produktbeschreibung

The origins of computation group theory (CGT) date back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Since then, the field has flourished, particularly during the past 30 to 40 years, and today it remains a lively and active branch of mathematics. The Handbook of Computational Group Theory offers the first complete treatment of all the fundame

Rezensionen

"This is a book I am very happy to have, both for the choice of content and the quality of exposition. Its subject is a very complete and up-to-date review of computational group theory. ...All together, the book contains of a huge amount of information. ...I think every mathematician will want this book on his shelf."
-Mathematics of Computation

"It will be an indispensable source for any user in this field."
