Permutation Groups and Symmetric Groups | Abstract Algebra

We introduce permutation groups and symmetric groups. We cover some permutation notation, composition of permutations, composition of functions in general, and prove that the permutations of a set make a group (with certain details omitted). #abstractalgebra #grouptheory We will see the Cayley table for the symmetric group S3, and look at some inverse permutations. We also cover the definition of a permutation, which is a bijection from a set to itself.
