This is the climax of the chapter. It begins with Cauchy’s Theorem (if a prime $p$ divides $|G|$, then $G$ has an element of order $p$) and culminates in the Sylow Theorems . These theorems provide a partial converse to Lagrange’s Theorem and are arguably the most powerful tools in the finite group theorist’s arsenal.
These sections are heavy on proof-writing. abstract algebra dummit and foote solutions chapter 4
