We've had a look at some of the basic definitions of groups. You might want to take a little break by reading some light pieces:


 * What on earth is a group? is a dialogue where a mathematician tries to explain the notion of a group to a non-mathematician.
 * Why care about groups? is a more serious discussion between a group theorist and a student keen to know more about the subject.
 * Groups as symmetry discusses how groups come up as the symmetries of structures.
 * History of groups discusses the historical evolution of the notion of group.
 * Historical definitions of group gives some early-on definitions of group (note: some of these definitions are incorrect and inadequate).
 * Funky definitions of group gives some weird definitions of group, that are nonetheless correct.
 * Groups in expository literature discusses the way groups are often discussed in expository literature intended for non-mathematicians.
