These unapproved articles are subject to edit intro In mathematics, groups often arise as structures representing the set of possible symmetries of some object. We have been intentionally vague about the meaning of the terms symmetry and object . The terms may have an obvious geometric sense. For example, the set of orientation-preserving continuous transformations of the Euclidean plane that take lines to lines and preserve angles can be decomposed into transformations of two types: rotations which rotate the whole plane around the origin by an angle of , and translations , which shift the origin to a new point and move the whole plane along with it without any "twisting". In coordinates, we can write an arbitrary rotation as

Group theory From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search In mathematics and abstract algebra group theory studies a type of algebraic structure called a group . Group theory is often used in mathematics as a starting point for the study of many algebraic structures, and of addition and multiplication of numbers. Because group theory is also useful for studying symmetry in nature and abstract systems, it has many applications in physics and chemistry change Definition A group is a set (collection) G whose members are called elements . The elements can be numbers of some kind, or other abstract objects. The elements can even be material objects. There is also a binary operation which combines any two elements of G and results in another element of G . This new element may be different than either of the original two, but does not have to be. It only has to be an element of G . To be a group, the following four conditions must be true of G and the operation defined over G Closure : It is required to check if the suggested operation is actually an operation on the set. If an operation is used on any elements in the group, the element that is formed will also be part of the group. For all a b in G , the result of the operation a b is also in G Identity element : One element of the group is special. It is called the identity element. If the operation is used with the identity element and another element, the other element will not change.

The development of group theory Algebra index History Topics Index Version for printing The study of the development of a concept such as that of a group has certain difficulties. It would be wrong to say that since the non-zero rationals form a group under multiplication then the origin of the group concept must go back to the beginnings of mathematics. Rather we must take the view that group theory is the abstraction of ideas that were common to a number of major areas which were being studied essentially simultaneously. The three main areas that were to give rise to group theory are:- geometry at the beginning of the 19 th Century, number theory at the end of the 18 th Century, the theory of algebraic equations at the end of the 18 th Century leading to the study of permutations. (1) Geometry has been studied for a very long time so it is reasonable to ask what happened to geometry at the beginning of the 19 th Century that was to contribute to the rise of the group concept. Geometry had began to lose its 'metric' character with projective and non-euclidean geometries being studied. Also the movement to study geometry in n dimensions led to an abstraction in geometry itself. The difference between metric and incidence geometry comes from the work of Monge , his student Carnot and perhaps most importantly the work of Poncelet . Non-euclidean geometry was studied by Lambert Gauss Lobachevsky Bolyai among others.

Euler, Gauss, Lagrange, Abel and Galois were precedent researchers in the field of group theory. Galois is honored as the first mathematician linking group theory with field theory , whose theory is now called Galois theory It was Walter Van Dyck who in 1882 gave the modern definition of a group. Other important mathematicians in this subject area includes Artin, Noether, Sylow, and many more. Elementary introduction Groups are used throughout mathematics and the sciences, often to capture the internal symmetry of other structures, in the form of automorphism groups. In Galois theory, which is the historical origin of the group concept, one uses groups to describe the symmetries of the equations satisfied by the solutions to a polynomial equation. The solvable groups are so-named because of their prominent role in this theory.

Topic:Group theory From Wikiversity Jump to: navigation search Contents Learning materials and learning projects Offsite Learning Materials Active Participants See also Welcome to Group Theory! Group Theory is a vibrant, wide area of current research in mathematics, computer science and mathematical/theoretical physics. There are many applications of group theory to the study of geometric objects, to topology and in many cases their links to other branches of algebra are quite well understood. So, why study group theory? You might study it because you've got a research question that somehow involves symmetry - constraint problems in computer science can be solved more efficiently when a little's known about the solution space. You might need to make some difficult calculations in a complicated topological space which become easier by passing into structures called their fundamental groups. You might even want to make millions as a cryptographer - current methods in cryptography are hard to crack, but become very easy when hacking with a quantum computer. There are good reasons to hope that groups hold the key to codes that can't be broken easily by quantum computers, just in case someone invents one and fancies stealing your identity. We've just not come up with the perfect code yet. Perhaps you just want to study it because it's fun and not really difficult to get into. Group theory can be understood at a moderate level by high-school level students, and in fact well enough by interested undergraduate students for them to produce original research. This is in stark contrast to the
