Commutator Calculus -- Introduction to Nilpotent Groups -- The Collection Process and Basic Commutators -- Normal Forms and Embeddings -- Isolators, Extraction of Roots, and P-Localization -- "The Group Ring of a Class of Infinite Nilpotent Groups" by S. A. Jennings -- Additional Topics.

This monograph presents both classical and recent results in the theory of nilpotent groups and provides a self-contained, comprehensive reference on the topic.  While the theorems and proofs included can be found throughout the existing literature, this is the first book to collect them in a single volume.  Details omitted from the original sources, along with additional computations and explanations, have been added to foster a stronger understanding of the theory of nilpotent groups and the techniques commonly used to study them.  Topics discussed include collection processes, normal forms and embeddings, isolators, extraction of roots, P-localization, dimension subgroups and Lie algebras, decision problems, and nilpotent groups of automorphisms.  Requiring only a strong undergraduate or beginning graduate background in algebra, graduate students and researchers in mathematics will find The Theory of Nilpotent Groups to be a valuable resource.
