Group Theory
Zoom Class

A rigorous introduction to algebraic structures, symmetry, and transformation groups.

January 15, 202618:00 UTC8 Weeks
Course Objective

Understand
Transformations
& Symmetries

Develop rigorous proof skills and deep intuition for algebraic symmetries. By the end of this course, you will be able to classify groups, understand homomorphisms, and apply group-theoretic reasoning to real-world problems in physics, chemistry, and cryptography.

Instructor Note
"Group Theory is the language of symmetry. By the end of this Zoom class, you will read, write, and speak that language fluently."

Ph.D. Mathematics · Algebraic Geometry

Zoom Classroom

Every Wednesday · 90 min live sessions. Interactive whiteboard, live Q&A, and breakout sessions included.

Small Cohort

Limited to 25 students. Personalized feedback and rich peer discussion in every session.

Beginner Friendly

Beginner-friendly with proof-based approach. No prior abstract algebra required, just curiosity and dedication.

What Students Will Learn

A carefully curated journey from foundational axioms to powerful modern applications.

Symmetry & Structure

Symmetry & Structure

Understand groups as symmetry objects. Learn to identify cyclic, dihedral, and symmetric groups through concrete geometric and combinatorial examples.

Subgroups & Cosets

Subgroups & Cosets

Master Lagrange's theorem, normal subgroups, and quotient groups. Build fluency with coset decomposition and the isomorphism theorems.

Real-World Applications

Real-World Applications

Apply group theory to crystallography, molecular symmetry, Rubik's cube permutations, and error-correcting codes in modern cryptography.
