Hi folks -
Just added sci.math to my usenet subs and felt delighted to see such
activity in here. Gladdens my heart that. So why am I here?
My college career ended about twenty years ago with a degree in Applied Mathematics and Statistics. Over time those hard earned skills have
eroded. The option of the major wasn't for the career field, only in discovering the beautiful elegance of calculus while attending city
college. Only then did I fall in love with math. My career field is in networking and network security. Hobbies include flying, retro
computing, and cooking. Also, I pretend to enjoy watching silent films
with my wife.
Lately I've been enjoying the rubik's cube and, as a result, group
theory has become an interest. A friend on IRC works in academia as a
math professor and I asked for a book suggestion on group theory geared
above a pedestrian level but below a PhD and he suggested a
textbook. Such an obvious decision.
Well, it came in today and it's going to take some time to garner the
skills needed to conquer this book. So you all could expect messages
from me regarding the topic as I wrap my head around this interesting subject. Just got through the first chapter on definitions.
For those interested, the book is:
A Course in Group Theory by John F. Humphreys
ISBN 0-19-853459-0
Got it used on amazon for about fifteen dollars.
