Description

Book Synopsis
This work summarises the development of a classification system of finite p-groups. The authors provide a careful summary and explanation of the many and difficult original research papers on the co-class conjecture and the structure theorem, thus elucidating the background research for those new to the area as well as for experienced researchers.

Trade Review
... there is considerable new material in this book ... The book is beautifully produced - a pleasure to the eyes, as well as to the mind, to read. * Zentralblatt MATH *
