Description for Cohomology of Finite Groups
Hardback. The cohomology of groups has been the stage for significant interaction between algebra and topology, leading to the creation of important new fields in mathematics, like homological algebra and algebraic K-theory. This is the first book to deal comprehensively with the cohomology of finite groups. Series: Die Grundlehren der Mathematischen Wissenschaften. Num Pages: 332 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBF; PBG. Category: (G) General (US: Trade); (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 20. Weight in Grams: 653.
Some Historical Background This book deals with the cohomology of groups, particularly finite ones. Historically, the subject has been one of significant interaction between algebra and topology and has directly led to the creation of such important areas of mathematics as homo logical algebra and algebraic K-theory. It arose primarily in the 1920's and 1930's independently in number theory and topology. In topology the main focus was on the work ofH. Hopf, but B. Eckmann, S. Eilenberg, and S. MacLane (among others) made significant contributions. The main thrust of the early work here was to try to understand the meanings ... Read more

Reviews for Cohomology of Finite Groups
From the reviews of the second edition: "This book is very different from other treatments since it emphasizes the computational aspects of the cohomology of finite groups with coefficients in a field. … I say merely that each mathematician interested in algebra and topology should have a copy of this book on their shelf and ...
