Dicyclic group

In group theory, a dicyclic group (notation Dicn or Q4n, ⟨n,2,2⟩) is a particular kind of non-abelian group of order 4n (n > 1). It is an extension of the cyclic group of order 2 by a cyclic group of order 2n, giving the name di-cyclic. In the notation of exact sequences of groups, this extension can be expressed as: More generally, given any finite abelian group with an order-2 element, one can define a dicyclic group. (Wikipedia).

Dihedral Group (Abstract Algebra)

The Dihedral Group is a classic finite group from abstract algebra. It is a non abelian groups (non commutative), and it is the group of symmetries of a regular polygon. This group is easy to work with computationally, and provides a great example of one connection between groups and geo

Dihedral group example

In this veideo we continue our look in to the dihedral groups, specifically, the dihedral group with six elements. We note that two of the permutation in the group are special in that they commute with all the other elements in the group. In the next video I'll show you that these two el

Center of a group in abstract algebra

After the previous video where we saw that two of the elements in the dihedral group in six elements commute with all the elements in the group, we finally get to define the center of a group. The center of a group is a subgroup and in this video we also go through the proof to show this.

Group Theory II Symmetry Groups

Why are groups so popular? Well, in part it is because of their ability to characterise symmetries. This makes them a powerful tool in physics, where symmetry underlies our whole understanding of the fundamental forces. In this introduction to group theory, I explain the symmetry group of

Visual Group Theory, Lecture 2.2: Dihedral groups

Cyclic groups describe the symmetry of objects that exhibit only rotational symmetry, like a pinwheel. Dihedral groups describe the symmetry of objects that exhibit rotational and reflective symmetry, like a regular n-gon. The corresponding dihedral group D_n has 2n elements: half are rota

Dihedral groups in abstract algebra

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 t
