- Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2013We used this book as we studied Group Theory. This book was incredibly helpful. I love all of the detailed proofs, helpful hints on problems, as well as interesting summaries of famous mathematicians related to this field. It is an accessible book, and worth the money.

Best book

5.0 out of 5 stars Excited to keep using it!
Just received this today and I loved reading it. The explanations are so enlightening and I can't wait to continue using it for my course. I also noticed tons of practice exercises, and I appreciate mathematics textbooks that provide many exercises to improve knowledge and understanding. I think this is a great book, I've only read 3 chapters so far and I am so intrigued by the subject matter as well as the way Gallian organizes everything. 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars I think this textbook has a good amount of examples to help me understand the concepts
I think this textbook has a good amount of examples to help me understand the concepts. It's definitely better than the recommended textbook for my Group Theory course.

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome book but bad seller!
The book is awesome. Gallian has a very unique approach. Loved it. But the seller, UBSPD isnt good though. The book I received didn't have proper packaging and as a result the book has been bent (Check the image). Go for a different seller.
AbhiAwesome book but bad seller!
