The origins of computation group theory (CGT) date back to the late 19th and
early 20th centuries. Since then, the field has flourished, particularly during
the past 30 to 40 years, and today it remains a lively and active branch of
mathematics.
The Handbook of Computational Group Theory offers the first complete treatment
of all the fundamental methods and algorithms in CGT presented at a level
accessible even to advanced undergraduate students. It develops the theory of
algorithms in full detail and highlights the connections between the different
aspects of CGT and other areas of computer algebra. While acknowledging the
importance of the complexity analysis of CGT
