Publisher's Synopsis
""On Imprimitive Substitution Groups"" is a mathematical treatise written by Harry Waldo Kuhn in 1904. The book focuses on the theory of permutation groups, specifically on the concept of imprimitive substitution groups. Kuhn defines an imprimitive group as a permutation group that can be decomposed into two or more smaller permutation groups that are not related to each other. The book explores the properties and characteristics of these groups, including their structure, composition, and possible applications. Kuhn provides numerous examples and proofs to support his arguments and presents his findings in a clear and concise manner. Overall, ""On Imprimitive Substitution Groups"" is a valuable resource for mathematicians and students of group theory.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
