Course - Groups and Group Actions HT23


This course introduced the idea of a group, which is a fundamental mathematical structure that can be thought of as the way of encoding all of the symmetries of something. It’s also the first time seeing the idea of a quotient, which shows up in lots of other courses. This means you can give precise meaning to statements like “the complex numbers without (‘mod’) the real numbers are just angles” ($\mathbb C / \mathbb R \cong S^1$).
