Book on (finite) Groups

Question

I almost got a Math degree but want to learn better topics in group theory, expecially about finite ones. I studied just introductions on groups (in the firsts algebra courses) and something about group actions and theory of characters. Could anyone recommend a good book on the topic? Thank you

Answer 1

Elements of Abstract Algebra by Allan Clark

Theory of Groups of Finite Order by William Burnside
Link

A Course on Group Theory by H.E. Rose

In German Edition:
Endliche Gruppen I and II by Bertram Huppert
Algebra: Gruppen - Ringe - Körper by Karpfinger

Answer 2

For the representation theory of finite groups, I suggest Serre's Linear Representations of Finite Groups.

Answer 3

Contemporary Abstract Algebra by Joseph A Gallian

Answer 4

As already mentioned, Gallian's Contemporary Abstract Algebra is a good place to start. I also really like Dummit and Foote's Abstract Algebra, though this is primarily a first year graduate text, so it may be a bit terse in some places.
