Can someone help me to correct this paragraph? It is for a friend.
Hence, I have a genuine interest in pure group-theoretical questions. Moreover, last summer I came across the book "Groups and Symmetry" by M. A. Armstrong. I enjoyed reading some chapters, especially the chapter concerning a proof of the Nielsen-Schreier theorem using group actions on trees. This is the kind of ideas, and methods which appeal to my attentiveness; that is, problems discrete, combinatorial in nature. I have read some papers concerning groups of Lie type acting on spherical buildings, and this is a topic I would like to explore in more depth if I have the opportunity to do so. In other words, I am interested in the work of Professor someprof. All of this explains my interest in your mathematics department, which seems to have a strong group specializing in geometric group theory. My objective at the completion of the M.Sc. degree at theuniversity is to continue in research-oriented activities. Finally, the academic surroundings and atmosphere is another reason why I am considering theuniversity in particular.
