"Geometric group theory is the study of the interplay between groups and the spaces they act on, and has its roots in the works of Henri Poincarae, Felix Klein, J.H.C. Whitehead, and Max Dehn.

An essential primer for undergraduates making the leap to graduate work, the book begins with free groups -- actions of free groups on trees, algorithmic questions about free groups, the ping-pong lemma, and automorphisms of free groups. It goes on to cover several large-scale geometric invariants of groups, including quasi-isometry groups, Dehn functions, Gromov hyperbolicity, and asymptotic dimension.
