Symmetry: An Introduction to Group Theory and Its ApplicationsSymmetry: An Introduction to Group Theory and Its Applications 
by Roy McWeeny
Well-organized volume develops ideas of group and representation theory in progressive fashion. Emphasis on finite groups describing symmetry of regular polyhedra and of repeating patterns, plus geometric illustrations.
The Theory of GroupsThe Theory of Groups 
by Hans J. Zassenhaus
Well-written graduate-level text acquaints reader with group-theoretic methods and demonstrates their usefulness in mathematics. Axioms, the calculus of complexes, homomorphic mapping, p-group theory, more. Many proofs shorter and more transparent than older ones.
Combinatorial Group Theory: Presentations of Groups in Terms of Generators and RelationsCombinatorial Group Theory: Presentations of Groups in Terms of Generators and Relations 
by Wilhelm Magnus, Abraham Karrass, Donald Solitar
A seminal, much-cited account of combinatorial group theory — co-authored by a distinguished teacher of mathematics and a pair of his colleagues — this text for graduate students features numerous helpful exercises. Second, revised 1976 edition.

Group TheoryGroup Theory 
by W. R. Scott
Here is a clear, well-organized coverage of the most standard theorems, including isomorphism theorems, transformations and subgroups, direct sums, abelian groups, and more. This undergraduate-level text features more than 500 exercises.

Product Description:

This self-contained text presents a consistent description of the geometric and quaternionic treatment of rotation operators, employing methods that lead to a rigorous formulation and offering complete solutions to many illustrative problems.
Geared toward upper-level undergraduates and graduate students, the book begins with chapters covering the fundamentals of symmetries, matrices, and groups, and it presents a primer on rotations and rotation matrices. Subsequent chapters explore rotations and angular momentum, tensor bases, the bilinear transformation, projective representations, and the geometry, topology, and algebra of rotations. Some familiarity with the basics of group theory is assumed, but the text assists students in developing the requisite mathematical tools as necessary.
Republication of the Oxford, 1986 edition.
