Abstract
In this chapter, we are going to discuss a basic concept: pure subgroup. This concept has been one of the most fertile notions in the theory since its inception in a paper by the pioneer H. Prufer. The relevance of purity in abelian group theory, and later in module theory, has tremendously grown with time. While abelian groups have been major motivation for a number of theorems in category theory, purity has served as a prototype for relative homological algebra, and has played a significant role in model theory as well.
