What is Pure Mathematics: Permutations about?
In this unit introduces permutation groups. It covers the symmetric and alternating groups, and conjugacy in symmetric groups. Cayley's Theorem, which asserts that every finite group is isomorphic to a permutation group, is discussed, illustrated and proved.One subsection is intended to be studied in conjunction with an audio, available in the Group Theory A Block Pack (order code M208/MMPGTA). The video programme, Cayley's Theorem, associated with this unit is available on DVD00094 (order code
