A study of the theory of groups that underlies Rubik's cube.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Alexander H. Frey, Jr has a Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Washington and was a computer architect with IBM. He is now retired.
"Frey and Singmaster give a nicely blended discussion of specific algorithms for the cube together with some underlying theoretical concepts from group theory. Thus, cubists will be able to cure their insomnia by reading chapter 3, and then perhaps satisfy their aroused curiosity about what is really going on by reading further" David M. Goldschmidt, Professor of Mathematics, University of California, Berkeley
