Symmetries (Group Theory)
Channel: Andrew Misseldine
Date: 07/12/2020

In this video, we discuss the notion of symmetries of a structured system and its corresponding symmetry group. We emphasize that as the structure of the set varies then so do the symmetries, as they are the permutations of the set that preserve the structure.
