This volume presents the Oxford Mathematical Institute notes for the enormously successful advanced undergraduate and first-year graduate student course on groups and geometry. The book's content closely follows the Oxford syllabus but covers a great deal more material than did the course itself. The book is divided into two parts: the first covers the fundamentals of groups, and the second covers geometry and its symbiotic relationship with groups. Both parts contain a number of useful examples and exercises. This book will be welcomed by student and teacher alike as a lucidly written text on an important topic.

Industry Reviews

'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. `delightful book ... The group theory is directed towards group actions, but all the basic material is there.' Mathematika, 41 (1994)
