Use bubble sort to prove every permutation is a product of transpositions is very wonderful.

Very late to this, but mostly for my own edification: am I right in thinking that the individual factors of the direct product in a conjugacy class (as seen at about 16:15 in the video) correspond to wreath products, where the permutations that has e.g. 3 four-cycles in their decompositions will have a factor of S_3 wr S_4 in their conjugacy class?

One does not expect the bubble sort to appear in a math lecture.
