  • When learning about groups, it’s helpful to look at group multiplication tables. Sometimes called Cayley Tables, these tell you everything you need to know to analyze and work with small groups. It’s even possible to use these tables to systematically find all groups of small order!

      @@brianbutler2481 i think your choosing of words is a bit sloppy, a property can be just a consequence of something, in particular the axioms. For example, the not finiteness of the primes, that's a property, and also a consequence of the definition of a prime number. So properties can be either consequences of axioms or axioms themselves.

    If anyone else is attempting to find the cayley tables, as assigned at the end: If you take a spreadsheet it makes it really easy. :)
    Also: she says that 3 of them are really the same. This part is pretty abstract, but what I think this means is that all the symbols are arbitrary, so you can switch 'a' and 'b' and it's really the same table. The only one that's really different (SPOILER ALERT!) is the one where you get the identity element by multiplying an element by itself (a^2 = E, b^2 = E, c^=E).

    I was just thinking "hey we're playing Sudoku!" when Liliana mentioned it at 6:30. As for the challenge. The integers under addition are the obvious first candidate, but the second unique table eluded me. I tried Grey code, but no luck, then I tried the integers with XOR and that seemed to work and produce a unique table.

    Awesome video, well done as always. One thing that confused me was that group "multiplication" tables actually don't necessarily represent multiplication. Such as when |G|=3 the Cayley table actually represents an addition table rather than a multiplication table. I tend to get confused when terms overlap, luckily that doesn't happen too often.
