【Course Objectives】

This is the first lecture in abstract algebra. Using the symmetric group as an example, group theory is introduced on a beginner level. The goal of this lecture is to become familiar with abstract algebraic thinking, and it is a prerequisit for the Algebra lecture in the 3rd year.

【Course Contents】

Point symmetry, planar symmetry, rotation symmetry, and other symmetries are often encountered in nature. Group theory is a method of treating symmetries in a mathematical way, as groups are transformations which preserve symmetries. The aim of this lecture is to become familiar with abstract algebra, by learning how to formally deduce properties from axioms. Using many concrete examples the students will get familiar with the concept of groups, and will undestand the fundamental concepts of "structure" and "homomorphism" of algebra.
