The study of permutation groups has always been an integral part of group theory. Permutation groups are important as a tool for solving group theoretic and combinatorial problems, and as a source of significant examples of groups. The reader is assumed to have had a first course in group theory. Numerous examples and exercises make the book suitable both as a course text and for self-study.
