1. Free base, free groups, reduced words.

2. Defining relations. Examples.

3. Group actions on a set. Actions by translations and conjugations. The kernel of an action.

4. Free product and its reduced words.

5. Cartesian and direct products. Characterization by normal subgroups.

6. Semidirect product and its structural meaning. Examples.

7. Abelian groups - product and coproduct. Finitely generated abelian groups. Cardinality of the basis of a free group.

8. Schreier's transversal and subgroups of a free group.

9. Zassenhaus lemma. Main and composition series.

10. Solvable groups, closeness for factors etc. Description by normal aand subnormal series.

11. Sylow theorems.

12. Upper and lewer central series. Nilpotent groups. Description of finite nilpotent groups. The simplicity of the alternating groups will be proved in the exercise classes. Characterization of divisible groups is proved when it is not included in the concurrent lecture on module theory.
