On Monday, I introduced automorphisms in class (see https://twitter.com/mattmacauley/status/1450182091216359427). Yesterday, we did inner and outer automorphisms. These visuals really capture the essence of these concepts.
So, what is HW like in an algebra class taught this way?
I'm glad you asked! 😀 1/4
I introduced automorphisms today. Starting with cyclic groups:
σ_2 = "doubling map" (r-arrow goes to 2 r-arrows)
σ_3 = "tripling map"
σ_2 * σ_3 = "the sextupling map"
On Wednesday, it REALLY gets fun -- inner vs. outer. Stay tuned!
