The Applications of Group Theory

Abstract:

Since the classification of finite simple groups completed last century, the applications of group theory are more and more widely. We first introduce the connection of groups and symmetry. And then we respectively introduce the applications of group theory in polynomial equation, algebraic topology, algebraic geometry , cryptography, algebraic number theory, physics and chemistry.
