Solving Rubik's cube using group theory


Pizza Seminar

Speaker: Sheldon Joyner (Western)

Title: Solving Rubik's cube using group theory

Time: 17:00 PM, Tuesday, September 2009, Room: 108

Group theory is the mathematical language of symmetry, and as such has many real world applications, ranging from the study of crystals to fundamental ideas about the workings of the universe. In this talk, we will introduce group theory and see how it is used to create a wonderful algorithm to solve Rubik's cube.
