This section provides an overview of the "Graduate Texts in Mathematics" series, specifically focusing on the book "Cohomology of Groups" by Kenneth S. Brown. The book is designed for second-year graduate students and aims to introduce the rich interplay between algebra and topology. It covers the basics of group cohomology in the first six chapters and more specialized topics in the remaining four chapters, reflecting the author's research interests. The prerequisites for reading the book include a basic understanding of algebra (groups, rings, and modules) and algebraic topology (fundamental group, covering spaces, simplicial and CW-complexes, and homology). The book includes numerous exercises, some of which are marked as more challenging. The author acknowledges several individuals for their helpful comments on the preliminary version of the book. The section also outlines the notational conventions used in the text and provides a table of contents, detailing the chapters and sections covered.This section provides an overview of the "Graduate Texts in Mathematics" series, specifically focusing on the book "Cohomology of Groups" by Kenneth S.
