Course objectives:
• Learn the elementary concepts and basic ideas involved in homomorphism and isomorphism.
• Develop the ability to form and evaluate group theory and its actions.
Understand the fundamental concepts of abstract algebra which include sylow theorems and
relative this concept to the direct products and abelian groups.

Definitions and Examples - More on cosets and Lagrange’s Theorem - The isomorphism
theorems - Transpositions and the Alternating group.


Unit-III:
Group Actions: Group actions and permutation representations - Groups acting on themselves by left multiplication - Cayley’s theorem - Groups acting on themselves by conjugation - The class equation - Automorphisms.


Unit-IV:
TheSylow theorems - The simplicity of An.Further topics in group theory: p-groups, Nilpotent groups and Solvable groups.
