Group theory is a central part of modern mathematics. Its origins lie in geometry. (where groups describe in a very detailed way the symmetries of geometric ...
An operation (more precisely, a binary operation) on a set S is a function from S S to S. Standard examples are addition, multiplication, and com-.
The beauty and strength of group theory applied to physics resides in the transformation of many complex symmetry operations into a very simple linear algebra.
