The current booklet is a translation of E. S. Lyapin, A. Va. Aizenshtat, and M. M. Lesokhin's Uprazhneniya po teorii grupp. i've got departed a bit of from the unique textual content within the following respects. I) i've got used Roman letters to point units and their components, and Greek letters to point mappings of units. The Russian textual content often adopts the other utilization. 2) i've got replaced many of the terminology just a little that allows you to conform with current English utilization (e.g., "inverses" rather than "regular conjugates"). three) i've got corrected a few misprints which seemed within the unique as well as these corrections provided by means of Professor Lesokhin. four) The bibliography has been tailored for readers of English. five) An index of all outlined phrases has been compiled (by Anita Zitarelli). 6) i've got integrated a multiplication desk for the symmetric team on 4 components, that's a widespread resource of examples andcounterex::Imples either during this e-book and in all of staff concept. i want to take this chance to thank the authors for his or her permission to put up this translation. certain thank you are prolonged to Professor Lesokhin for his errata record and for writing the Foreword to the English version. i'm relatively indebted to Leo F. Boron, who learn the whole manuscript and provided many worthwhile reviews. eventually, to my unerring typists Sandra Rossman and Anita Zitarelli, i'm clearly grateful.
