[GAP Forum] new book on Computational group theory

[David Joyner]

Hello Forum:

I am posting this for Joachim Neubeuser:

The Book: 'Representations of Groups, A Computational Approach' by
Klaus Lux and Herbert Pahlings
(Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics 124, Cambridge University
Press 2010, x+460 p) provides a joint development of both ordinary and
modular representation theory together with the wealth of algorithms
and their implementations that are playing such an important role in
the recent development of the field. GAP programs are used and
documented throughout the book. An important feature is that  the book
is accompanied by an own website
 http://www.math.rwth-aachen.de/~RepresentationsOfGroups
 which i.a. provides errata, solutions for the numerous exercises in
the book and additional material. This feature will in particular
allow further updating of this important text.

This has also been posted to http://www.gap-system.org/Doc/references.html

PS: The cambridge link for the book on the page
http://www.math.rwth-aachen.de/~RepresentationsOfGroups
does not work for me. However, the book is on amazon.com and there you
can also find sample pages from
inside the book, such as the table of contents.
