The Elementary Theory of Groups ─ A Guide Through the Proofs of the Tarski Conjectures

Fine, Gaglione, Myasnikov, Rosenberger, and Spellman present students, academics, and researchers with an in-depth examination of the general elementary theory of groups necessary to understand proofs of the Tarski conjecture. The text provides an introduction of group theory and logic, before covering combinatorial group theory, geometric group theory, first order languages and model theory and a variety of other related subjects.
