Want to know how to "speak math"? We will be exploring an area of math called group theory, a more general formalization of the algebra you learned in high school. Everyone in class will follow the Moore method: you'll prove a set of theorems from definitions between classes and then present your solutions in class. Along the way, you'll learn about some of group theory's most interesting aspects, and why it's one of the most important areas of mathematics.
