Welcome to "Doc Benton's Academy for Mathematical Wizards!" I have been retired for an indeterminate amount of time, and this site, like a freeway in Texas, will be under construction forever. Nonetheless, below is what I have accomplished so far in my quest to create a very brief, 900-page introduction to group theory that either an intelligent high school student or a caveman working for GEICO could benefit from. And as the erroneous perception of linear time goes by, I will clean up and simplify the text as much as possible in order to make everything perfectly clear and unambiguous. Enjoy!
