Finite reflection groups | Properties of groups | Euclidean symmetries
In mathematics, a dihedral group is the group of symmetries of a regular polygon, which includes rotations and reflections. Dihedral groups are among the simplest examples of finite groups, and they play an important role in group theory, geometry, and chemistry. The notation for the dihedral group differs in geometry and abstract algebra. In geometry, Dn or Dihn refers to the symmetries of the n-gon, a group of order 2n. In abstract algebra, D2n refers to this same dihedral group. This article uses the geometric convention, Dn. (Wikipedia).
Abstract Algebra | The dihedral group
We present the group of symmetries of a regular n-gon, that is the dihedral group D_n. http://www.michael-penn.net http://www.randolphcollege.edu/mathematics/

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

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

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

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

GT18.1. Class Equation for Dihedral Groups
Abstract Algebra: We consider the class equation for the dihedral groups D_2n. Conjugacy classes are computed, and we verify the cardinality equation using centralizers. To finish, we consider the partitions for normal subgroups. U.Reddit course materials available at http://ureddit.co

Inner Semidirect Product Example: Dihedral Group
Semidirect products explanation: https://youtu.be/Pat5Qsmrdaw Semidirect products are very useful in group theory. To understand why, it's helpful to see an example. Here we show how to write the dihedral group D_2n as a semidirect product, and how we can describe that purely using cyclic

Why Normal Subgroups are Necessary for Quotient Groups
Proof that cosets are disjoint: https://youtu.be/uxhAUmgSHnI In order for a subgroup to create a quotient group (also known as factor group), it must be a normal subgroup. That means that when we conjugate an element in the subgroup, it stays in the subgroup. In this video, we explain wh
