Group theory is a fundamental domain of abstract algebra that studies algebraic structures called groups. It provides a framework for analyzing mathematical structures with applications in algebra, number theory, geometry, cryptography, and physics.
This field emerged in the 19th century through Evariste Galois's work on polynomial equations and has evolved into a foundational mathematical discipline. This study examines core concepts, such as sets, binary operations, and groups, progressing to subgroups, cyclic groups, permutation groups, homomorphisms, and normal subgroups.
This material, supported by definitions, theorems, and proofs, serves undergraduate mathematics students and those interested in algebra, establishing a foundation for advanced studies in abstract algebra and its applications.
