Title: Growth of groups

Abstract: I will compare two ways to determine subexponential growth of the first Grigorchuk group, and then talk about the (subexponential) growth of another class of groups. In the end, I will introduce the method of assigning weights to each generator to obtain a sharp upper bound for the growth function.
