By presenting these advanced concepts at this stage, they will gain a deeper understanding of the subject and be motivated to explore more of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGroups covered include Thompson’s groups, self-similar groups, Lamplighter groups, and Baumslag-Solitar groups. Each chapter focuses on one of these groups, and begins by discussing why they are interesting, how they originated, and why they are important mathematically. A collection of specific references for additional reading, topics for further research, and exercises are included at the end of every chapter to encourage students’ continued education.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its accessible presentation and engaging style, \u003ci\u003eA Sampling of Remarkable Groups\u003c\/i\u003e is suitable for students in upper-level undergraduate or beginning graduate abstract algebra courses.
