I just bought a book with that title. It is one ot the Springer Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics and is by John Stillwell, Professor of Mathamatics at the University of San Francisco. It is just what I needed. It has, in the first two chapters, clarified ideas that I knew something about, especially quaternions and simple groups. I find his end-of-chapter discussions interesting. When I finish I should be in a position to understand a book I already had called Symnetry and The Monster by Mark Ronan.
In the Preface he mentions another book called Naive Set Theory by Paul Halmos. Maybe I'll get it to.
