Combinatorial Group Theory

These notes were prepared for use by the participants in the Workshop on Algebra, Geometry and Topology held at the Australian National University, 22 January to 9 February, 1996. They have subsequently been updated for use by students in the subject 620-421 Combinatorial Group Theory at the University of Melbourne. Copyright 1996-2002 by C. F. Miller.
