Mathematicians have been studying groups, a fundamental concept in mathematics, for centuries. Groups are sets of objects with an operation that satisfies four rules: closure, associativity, identity, and inverse. This concept has far-reaching implications in various fields, from geometry and algebra to physics and cryptography. The study of groups has led to the discovery of…
