Group Theory

The document consists of a series of questions related to group theory, including true/false statements, examples, and proofs. It covers topics such as group properties, cosets, homomorphisms, and specific groups like S3 and Z. The questions are divided into sections with varying point values, requiring both short answers and detailed proofs.
