Start of a video series on intuitions of group theory. Groups are often introduced as a kind of abstract algebraic object right from the start, which is not good for developing intuitions for first-time learners. This video series hopes to help you develop intuitions, which are useful in understanding group theory.
In particular, this video is going to be about thinking groups as symmetries (or isometries to be precise) because they are much more visualisable, and that symmetries of an object do form a group using the abstract definition of the group that is usually given.
Other than commenting on the video, you are very welcome to fill in a Google form linked below, which helps me make better videos by catering for your math levels:

If you want to know more interesting Mathematics, stay tuned for the next video!
SUBSCRIBE and see you in the next video!
If you are wondering how I made all these videos, even though it is stylistically similar to 3Blue1Brown, I don't use his animation engine Manim, but I will probably reveal how I did it in a potential subscriber milestone, so do subscribe!

@redumptious2544 2 года назад
I usually try to refrain from looking at a subject in a known way if the teacher uses a different one - especially if they explicitly say that they do so. I think it often holds back from a better understanding because one tries to fit known (but not fully understood) with totally new knowledge and is even more confused in the end. But I really like seeing the group axioms represented as properties of symmetry! It makes the symmetry explanation of groups feel very intuitive. (Having understood the definition of a group but not much more.)

Thanks a lot ! Please could you help with one thing which makes me struggle : If I understand clearly a symmetry is like a function whose domain is the set of vertices, or the set of edges, or the set of faces, and the codomain is the set of vertices, or the set of edges, or the set of faces (respectively). This function needs to follow two rules : · distances between elements needs to be preserved · I think that the fact that the whole object is preserved follows the fact that distances between elements needs to be preserved So here is the question : If the set of symmetries form a group over the set G of symmetries : do we consider the whole functions that symmetries are when we compose them or do we consider the output of those functions when composing symmetries? What does it means when we compose symmetries : for example if a and b are symmetries a·b = c which is also a symmetry, but symmetries act on elements of sets so does a·b ∀x,y,z∈X , b*x=y, a*y=z but z here is ∈X not in G, so clearly "·" is not equivalent to "*"....so a·b is not equivalent to a*(b*x)....

If you have only one object to start with, then won’t an object preserving transformation also preserve distances? In the example at 1:20, two objects are exchanged so distance is not preserved.
@musicarroll
@musicarroll 3 года назад
Good video. Thanks. Suggestion: When you say "distances" you should specify distances between some elements. E.g., symmetries preserve distances between points, between elements, between figures, between points and line segments, etc. Transformations that preserve distances between .... what?
@mathemaniac
@mathemaniac 3 года назад
What I mean is all distances, so it means everything you just said.
@musicarroll
@musicarroll 3 года назад
@@mathemaniac I think your example is a little obscure, because the objects acted on are two marked triangles (not just triangles) and as such they are different objects (although they have parts that are the same, i.e., the triangle parts). You are right, of course, that the markings break the translational symmetry of the triangles, but the markings make them completely different objects to begin with.

at 0:45, isn't the group associated with symmetries of a square called D_4?
@mathemaniac
@mathemaniac 4 года назад
The convention is probably different across the world. When I learnt it, the subscript denote the order of the group, not the number of vertices. But probably your convention is D_4. There is nothing wrong about these conventions, but just that I like to stick with the convention I learnt.

Is there a name if the object is preserved but not the lengths? Like an eigenvalue eq Av=lambda v with lambda =/=1 ?
@mathemaniac
@mathemaniac 4 года назад
It is simply a permutation of the points within an object, if that's what you are looking for. I have talked about permutations in Chapter 7 of the video series. Permutation involves much more than linear transformations though, like they can be not continuous.

@mathemaniac
@mathemaniac 2 года назад
@@samwisegamski No you can't get those symmetries by simple rotation: a reflection flips orientation in space, and a rotation preserves orientations. If you would prefer the matrix lingo, a reflection has determinant -1, and a rotation has determinant +1. You can try to see if rotating the tetrahedron could actually reproduce the symmetries that you described! As a somewhat related note, the fact that you can't rotate the tetrahedron to get its reflected image is called chirality in chemistry.
