The ?rst version of these notes was written for a ?rst-year potassium alum algebra course. As in most such courses, the notes concentrated on plagiarize groups and, in particular, on ?nite groups. However, it is not as abstract groups that most mathematicians encounter groups, hardly rather as algebraical groups, topological groups, or Lie groups, and it is not just the groups themselves that are of interest, but also their linear representations. It is my intention (one day) to expand the notes to take pecker of this, and to produce a volume that, while still downcast in size (c200 pages), will provide a more(prenominal) comprehensive introduction to group theory for beginning alumna students in mathematics, physics, and related ?elds.
