====== Josh's outline ====== ===== Introduction ===== The goal is to produce a set of IBL notes that works from the definition of a [[Definition:Group|group]] to [[Theorem:Sylow's Theorem]]. The primary point of view will be that of [[Definition:Permutation Group|permutation groups]] with the abstract definition of a [[Definition:Group|group]] being preceded by exploring concrete examples of [[Definition:Automorphism Group|automorphism groups]]. ---- ===== Prerequisites ===== * Linear algebra ---- ===== The outline ===== ==== First definitions and examples ==== {{page>problem:Simple Matrix Encryption#problem&link&noeditbutton&nofooter&inline}} {{page>definition:Symmetric group#definition&link&noeditbutton&nofooter&inline}} {{page>problem:Diagramatic representation of Sn#problem&link&noeditbutton&nofooter&inline}} {{page>definition:Automorphism of a graph#definition&link&noeditbutton&nofooter&inline}} {{page>problem:Aut-square#problem&link&noeditbutton&nofooter&inline}} {{page>definition:Group#definition&link&noeditbutton&nofooter&inline}} {{page>problem:Explicit examples of abstract groups#problem&link&noeditbutton&nofooter&inline}} {{page>definition:Order (for groups)#definition&link&noeditbutton&nofooter&inline}} {{page>definition:Abelian group#definition&link&noeditbutton&nofooter&inline}} {{page>definition:Subgroup#definition&link&noeditbutton&nofooter&inline}} {{page>problem:Examples of abstract groups#problem&link&noeditbutton&nofooter&inline}} {{page>theorem:Intersection of subgroups is a subgroup#theorem&link&noeditbutton&nofooter&inline}}
