Abelian Groups and Representations of Finite Partially Ordered Sets

A recurring theme in a traditional introductory graduate algebra cours e is the existence and consequences of relationships between different algebraic structures. This is also the theme of this book, an exposit ion of connections between representations of finite partially ordered sets and abelian groups. Emphasis is placed throughout on classificat ion, a description of the objects up to isomorphism, and computation o f representation type, a measure of when classification is feasible.
