Characterization of beginners
Semi-beginners are people who:
- Have already done a first course in group theory (or equivalent)
- Are already (vaguely) familiar with the conventions, notations and ideas both within group theory and within closely related areas of mathematics (Such as ring theory, commutative algebra).
- Can read and understand a group theory definition without necessarily having to plough through examples
Requirements of semi-beginners
As a semi-beginner, you may want:
- A quick way to check out definitions of basic and not-so-basic terms that may arise in a second course in group theory
- A quick way to hunt for proofs of statements, facts and theorems
- Good survey and motivational articles that point leads to further territory in group theory and consolidate existing ideas
- Basic definitions in areas allied to group theory (such as representation theory, combinatorial group theory, etc.)
