Descrizione del libro

William Burnside (1852–1927) was one of the founders of the modern theory of finite groups. This book, originally published in 1897, is reissued here in the updated second edition of 1911. It includes an account of the character theory of Ferdinand Georg Frobenius (1849–1917), which influenced Burnside's research.
