What is a Group? | A Visual Intro to Group Theory

Video Description

What exactly is Symmetry? The experience many of us have in school is that Mathematics is only about numbers. But here, I want to give you a glimpse into a beautiful Mathematical subject that places numbers on the backburner, and instead takes symmetries and patterns as its main objects of study. This subject is known by Mathematicians as Group Theory and has applications in areas as wide ranging as Particle Physics, Crystallography, and Chemistry. So not only is Group Theory a beautiful subject, it is also incredibly useful. _____ Join my Patreon community: https://www.patreon.com/abidebyreason Support the channel with a one-time donation: https://ko-fi.com/abidebyreason _____ Related Videos: Intro to Topology: https://youtu.be/B-Y3-XpAdMU Chaos Theory: https://youtu.be/TX5S6tS7jro Why Bra Ket Notation Works Mathematically: https://youtu.be/RuV8H8IAjS4 _____ Music by Vincent Rubinetti Download the music on Bandcamp: https://vincerubinetti.bandcamp.com/album/the-music-of-3blue1brown Stream the music on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3zNK20qC96mVSww60lVi1k Animations created using Manim: https://www.manim.community/
