Section outline

  • This week's focus will be on familiarising ourselves with examples of groups, including: cyclic groups; the Quaternion group; groups defined by multiplication modulo an integer; dihedral groups; and some examples of groups of matrices. We may also begin to investigate the symmetric group. 

    This week's material will correspond approximately to sections 1.4 to 2.5 of the printed notes. 

    At the end of this week you will be able to use the Week 2 quiz. This quiz does not carry credit, and may be taken any number of times.
