Here we present a basic introduction to the theory of groups and permutations. Then we will define the group generated by operations on the Rubik's cube, the classic toy invented in 1974 by Hungarian sculptor and architect Erno Rubik that caused a sensation in the 1980s, quickly becoming one...
Let’s Begin… Mathematics explains the workings of the universe, from particle physics to engineering and economics. Math is even closely related to music, and their common ground has something to do with a Rubik's Cube puzzle. Michael Staff explains how group theory can teach us to play ...

An application of Maple's group package to answering various questions about the small Rubik's cube. Maple has a group theory package that can be used to generate and manipulate finite groups. Do you remember the pocket Rubik's cube? If you don't, it's a Rubik's cube with only two ...

Mathematically the Rubik's Cube is a permutation group. It has 6 different colors and each color is repeated exactly 9 times, so the cube can be considered as an ordered list which has 54 elements with numbers between 1 and 6, each number meaning a color being repeated 9 times. We can...
We focused on conjugacy classes because this is how applications to Galois theory are likely to arise, but of course one can similarly define an invariant using the original random elements (Xn) in G. If G is abelian, the two coincide. To have an unambiguously defined invariant, we must ...
, levity, and practicality to the topics through mathematical toys. Joyner uses permutation puzzles such as the Rubik's Cube and its variants, the 15 puzzle, the Rainbow Masterball, Merlin's Machine, the Pyraminx, and the Skewb to explain the basics of introductory algebra and group theory. ...
Pick up a cube and begin repeating the process(FRBL)over and over. One of the first things you notice will be that after 5 repetitions (20 total moves) the top four edge cubelets come back to their original positions. Also after 3 repetitions (12 total moves) the top four corner cubele...
