Summary
The only book of its kind written specifically for undergraduates which explains the links between these two important mathematical groups. The authors explain these links by recourse to symmetry, a study of groups providing a good means of measuring geometrical symmetry.

Groups and Geometry by Neumann
Available for the first time in published form, Groups and Geometry contains the Oxford Mathematical Institute notes for undergraduates and first-year postgraduates, although guided by the Oxford syllabus much other material is also included. Symmetry is visable in all parts of mathematics, and in many other areas, and geometrical symmetry is the most visible of all. For this reason, groups and geometry are such close neighbours. Also included are a number of exercises that will be invaluable to any reader wishing to gain a fuller understanding of this area of mathematics.
'develops a comprehensive group-theoretic approach to affine, projective and inversive geometry.. It ends with a fascinating chapter on the group theory behind the Rubik cube.' Ian Stewart, New Scientist
'Both parts contain a number of exercises that will be invaluable to any reader wishing to gain a fuller understanding of this area of mathematics.' Extrait de L'Enseignement Mathematique, T. 40 1994
The book can be recommended warmly for any interested reader. "Monatshefte fur Mathematik No.3 1996.
