Abstract
In Chapters 2 and 3, we have used some concepts of group theory in a practical fashion. In this chapter, we restate the axioms of the group theory and several ralated concepts such as subgroups and cosets in a more logical fashion. Two types of partitions of group elements are discussed to classify them. The one is a partition according to cosets. And the other is a partition based on conjugacy.
