In the previous video I showed a square and its symmetric transformations. This is actually a dihedral group in four elements.
In this video I explain what a dihedral group is, but way of visual examples and the selection of permutations of a set.
At the end I use the Wolfram Language to show you the elements of larger dihedral groups as well as the Cayley tables of these groups.
If you want to learn more about the Wolfram Language, have a look at my course on Udemy at udemy.com/mathematica
Using a computer language to look at albstract algebra is a lot of fun and can lead to some great insight. The Wolfram Language is great for this. Log on to wolframcloud.com and click on Programming Lab to open a free account and code right in your browser.
