Finite Collineation Groups: With An Introduction To The Theory Of Groups Of Operators And Substitution Groups (1917)

Finite Collineation Groups: With An Introduction To The Theory Of Groups Of Operators And Substitution Groups is a book written by Hans Frederik Blichfeldt in 1917. The book provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory of finite collineation groups, which are groups of transformations that preserve the collinearity of points. The author explains the basic concepts and properties of these groups, including their structure, classification, and applications in geometry and algebra.In addition, the book also covers the theory of groups of operators and substitution groups, which are related topics in abstract algebra. The author discusses the fundamental concepts and results of these theories, including group actions, permutation groups, and group representations.The book is intended for mathematicians and students who are interested in the theory of finite groups and their applications in various fields. It is written in a clear and concise style, with numerous examples and exercises to help readers understand the material. The book has become a classic reference in the field of group theory and is still widely used today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
