<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{usertype}}<br /> <br /> A &#039;&#039;&#039;beginner&#039;&#039;&#039; is one of the target user profiles for the Groupprops wiki.<br /> <br /> ==Characterization of beginners==<br /> <br /> Most beginners to group theory are people doing a first course in group theory. Usually group theory may be part of a first course in abstract algebra.<br /> <br /> People doing a first course in group theory or abstract algebra usually:<br /> <br /> * Have a grounding in elementary algebra and the use of symbols<br /> * Have no prior exposure to abstract algebra<br /> <br /> Apart from people starting out with a formal course, beginners may also include people from other disciplines who want an overview of group theory. We are trying to develop separate usertypes for them.<br /> <br /> ==Requirements of beginners==<br /> <br /> As a beginner, you may want:<br /> <br /> * Quick and easy access to the definitions of basic terms<br /> * Some introductory/survey articles on aspects of group theory to provide motivation for them<br /> * A quick way to hunt out the statement and proof of any important result<br /> * A way to understand how the basic facts and definitions in group theory are arranged and organized<br /> <br /> ==Resources for beginners==<br /> <br /> ===A guided tour===<br /> <br /> A special guided tour for beginners is available at:<br /> <br /> * [[Groupprops:Guided tour for beginners]]<br /> <br /> ===Difficulty-based organization===<br /> <br /> If you, as a beginner, do not want to be inundated with the wealth of articles in group theory, and would like to concentrat on the basic ones, you can focus on:<br /> <br /> * [[:Category:Basic definitions in group theory]]<br /> * [[:Category:Basic facts in group theory]]<br /> <br /> If you want to check out for proofs of riders/exercises, you may want to check out:<br /> <br /> * [[:Category:Elementary non-basic facts in group theory]]<br /> <br /> ==Feedback from beginners==</div>
