From the reviews: "This book [...] defines the boundaries of the subject now called combinatorial group theory. [...] it is a considerable achievement to have concentrated a survey of the subject into 339 pages. [...] a valuable and welcome addition to the literature, containing many results not previously available in a book. It will undoubtedly become a standard reference." Mathematical Reviews

Along with statistics, combinatorics is one of the most maligned fields of mathematics. Often it is not even considered a field in its own right but merely a grab-bag of disparate tricks to be exploited by other, nobler endeavours. Where is the glory in simply counting things? This book goes a long
The papers in this volume are the result of a workshop held in January 1989 at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute. Topics covered include decision problems, finitely presented simple groups, combinatorial geometry and homology, and automatic groups and related topics.
<span>In January 1989 a Workshop on Algorithms, Word Problems and Classi- fication in Combinatorial Group Theory was held at MSRl. This was part of a year-long program on Geometry and Combinatorial Group Theory or- ganised by Adyan, Brown, Gersten and Stallings. The organisers of the workshop were G
This is a wonderfully intellectual, semi-historical approach to classical topology. Chapter 0 gets some fundamentals out of the way. Chapter 1 is very intriguing and contains lots of ideas. First we are given a taste of the Riemann surfaces of complex analysis. These are complemented by the nonorie
