Title : Group Theory: the Language of Symmetry.
Speaker : Prof Amritanshu , Professor, IMSc, Chennai
Date : 25/11/2016, Seminar Hall, First Floor.

Abstract: 

Symmetries of objects are transformations of space that leave them unchanged. Groups are algebraic structures which capture symmetries of objects. I will introduce groups using examples, and then explain how they can be used in problems of enumeration and classification.
