Abstract: Abstract The study of finite groups has been an integral component of group theory since it first emerged in the 19th century. Finite groups often arise while considering symmetrical objects, when those objects admit just a finite number of structure-preserving transformations. Important examples of finite groups include cyclic groups and permutation groups, which we shall study in the next two chapters. The properties of finite groups play a vital role in subjects such as theoretical physics and chemistry.
