Finitely-generated Abelian Group - Non-finitely Generated Abelian Groups

Non-finitely Generated Abelian Groups

Note that not every abelian group of finite rank is finitely generated; the rank 1 group is one counterexample, and the rank-0 group given by a direct sum of countably infinitely many copies of is another one.
