Many of the examples are poorly introduced, theorems are mentioned that don't exist in the book, etc. Other than Rubik's cube, most of the other puzzles are presented in a completely incomprehensible manner.

Group theory deals with symmetry, in the most abstract form possible. It is a core part of the undergraduate math curriculum, and forms part of the training of theoretical physicists and chemical crystallographers. Group theory has tended to be very dry―until now. David Joyner uses mathematical toys (primarily the Rubik's Cube and its more modern cousins, the Megaminx, the Pyraminx, and so on) as well as other mathematical examples (e.g., bell ringing) to breathe ne...
