A Course in Group Theory by Humphreys
This is an excellent and self-contained introduction to the theory of groups, covering all topics likely to be encountered in undergraduate courses. It aims to stimulate and encourage undergraduates to find out more about their subject. The book takes as its theme the various fundamental classification theorems in finite group theory, and the text is further explained in numerous examples and exercises, and summaries at the end of each chapter.
The arguments are clear and full proofs are given... The whole text is actually built up around the idea of classification theorems. The inherent limitations of such an approach put aside, such glimpses of a distant horizon can do a lot towards stimulating the students to find more about the subject for themselves. * M Deaconescu, Zentralblatt fur Mathematik, Band 843/96. *
