Group

The Chad of all algebraic structures, a group is a set equipped with an associative binary operation, which contains an identity as well as an inverse for each element.

Groups give mathematicians a general way of describing structures with symmetry. They are very sexy and I dream about them in my sleep.
If (G, • ) is a group with identity e, then FrobeniusTheorem tells us that:
k divides |G| => k divides |{g∈ G : g^k = e}|

Group

Abstract Algebra: If G is a nonmpty set that is equipped with a binary relation * that satisfies the following axioms:

1. Closure
2. Associativity
3. There is an element e in G s.t. a*e=a=e*a for all a in G
4. For each a in G, there is an element d in G such that a*d=e and d*a=e

Then G is a group under the operation *
The set of integers is a group under addition.

The set of permutations in S_n is a group under composition.
The subset from the complex numbers {1, -1, i, -1} is a group under multiplication.

Forcing a friend with the "group" instruction to post a selected message from the shared private chat to another larger chat group to cause confusion there.

Group

A small selection of people. Generally named Alyssa, Haylie, Anika, and Mallorie! That Madie claims glares at them all the time! She also claims that Alyssa hates her without actually asking Alyssa before making the assumption.
The little "group" is glaring at me again.
