Riassunto

This book describes the basic algorithmic ideas behind accepted methods for computing with finitely presented groups.

Recensione

"this book is a very interesting treatment of the computational aspects of combinatorial group theory. It is well-written, nicely illustrating the algorithms presented with many examples. Also, some remarks on the history of the field are included. In adition, many exercises are provided throughout...this is a very valuable book that is well-suited as a textbook for a graduate course on computational group theory. It addresses students of mahtematics and of computer science alike, providing the necessary background for both. In addition, this book will be of good use as a reference source for computational aspects of combinatorial group theory." Friedrich Otto, Mathematical Reviews
