Five main lecture courses were given at the conference, and articles based on their lectures form a substantial part of the Proceedings. This volume contains the contributions from Marston Conder (Auckland), Persi Diaconis (Stanford) and Marcus Du Sautoy (Cambridge). The series of Proceedings of Groups St Andrews conferences have provided snapshots of the state of research in group theory throughout the Notes Proceedings of a conference held from 5 August 2001 - 18 August 2001 in the Mathematical Institute of the University of Oxford - Intro Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Print version record Subject Group theory -- Congresses MATHEMATICS -- Group Theory.
