Sinossi

This is an elementary introduction to the congruence subgroup problem, a problem which deals with number theoretic properties of groups defined arithmetically.
The novelty and, indeed, the goal of this book is to present some applications to group theory as well as to number theory which have emerged in the last fifteen years.
No knowledge of algebraic groups is assumed and the choice of the examples discussed seeks to convey that even these special cases give interesting applications.
The book is intended for beginning graduate students. Many exercises are given.
