Course Description:
We study an algebraic structure (called a group) with one binary
operation that satisfies certain properties. Examples of such groups are
the integers or real numbers under addition, invertible matrices (of a
fixed size) under matrix multiplication, or bijections from a given set
to itself under composition of functions. Groups also show up in many
situations as the symmetries of an object or structure. By formalising
their common properties we can prove various general results about
groups, which we also illustrate by working out what they mean in
various concrete cases.
