"The book is a pleasure to read. There is no question but that it will become, and deserves to be, a widely used textbook and reference." -- Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society.
Character theory provides a powerful tool for proving theorems about finite groups. In addition to dealing with techniques for applying characters to "pure" group theory, a large part of this book is devoted to the properties of the characters themselves and how these properties reflect and are reflected in the structure of the group.
Chapter I consists of ring theoretic preliminaries. Chapters 2 to 6 and 8 contain the basic material of character theory, while Chapter 7 treats an important technique for the application of characters to group theory. Chapter 9 considers irreducible representations over arbitrary fields, leading to a focus on subfields of the complex numbers in Chapter 10. In Chapter 15 the author introduces Brauer's theory of blocks and "modular characters." Remaining chapters deal with more specialized topics, such as the connections between the set of degrees of the irreducible characters and structure of a group. Following each chapter is a selection of carefully thought out problems, including exercises, examples, further results and extensions and variations of theorems in the text.
Prerequisites for this book are some basic finite group theory: the Sylow theorems, elementary properties of permutation groups and solvable and nilpotent groups. Also useful would be some familiarity with rings and Galois theory. In short, the contents of a first-year graduate algebra course should be sufficient preparation.

Not good for sun protection
Color: #2 ROSE
Product smells good and leaves skin glowing and soft however the sun protection isn’t great. I’m someone who reapplies every 90 minutes like clockwork, everywhere and not just where the sun shines, and I’ve used this three times now and burned each time.

Perfect After-Sun Lotion
This lotion feels amazing after being out in the sun all day. It keeps my skin soft and hydrated without feeling greasy, and the scent is light and tropical. I also love the subtle glow it gives my skin. Great size for keeping in a beach bag or taking on vacation. Definitely recommend if you want your tan to last longer and your skin to feel moisturized.

Smells Devine
I got this Hawaiian Tropic After Sun Lotion to use after long beach days this past summer, and it quickly became part of my routine. It feels soothing on the skin after sun exposure and absorbs nicely without leaving a greasy layer. What I noticed most is how well it helps maintain my tan. My color seemed to last longer and fade more evenly when I consistently used it. I even saw a difference when I was using tanning beds — my skin looked more hydrated, which made the tan appear richer and less patchy. The scent is another highlight. It has that classic tropical fragrance that instantly smells like summer vacation — warm, beachy, and nostalgic without being overpowering. I’ll definitely be repurchasing before my upcoming vacation because it makes such a noticeable difference in how my skin looks and feels after sun exposure.
