Показать описание
An introduction to group theory (Minor error corrections below)
An equally valuable form of support is to simply share some of the videos.
Timestamps:
0:00 - The size of the monster
0:50 - What is a group?
7:06 - What is an abstract group?
13:27 - Classifying groups
18:31 - About the monster
Errors:
*Typo on the "hard problem" at 14:11, it should be a/(b+c) + b/(a+c) + c/(a+b) = 4
*Typo-turned-speako: The classification of quasithin groups is 1221 pages long, not 12,000. The full collection of papers proving the CFSG theorem do comprise tens of thousands of pages, but no one paper was quite that crazy.

If you want to check it out, I feel compelled to warn you that it's not the most well-documented tool, and it has many other quirks you might expect in a library someone wrote with only their own use in mind.

If you want to contribute translated subtitles or to help review those that have already been made by others and need approval, you can click the gear icon in the video and go to subtitles/cc, then "add subtitles/cc". I really appreciate those who do this, as it helps make the lessons accessible to more people.
