anybody hollerin' for that V-group out here?!
What's the V-group? Is it the ship management services organization?
no.  it's the 4-group in abstract algebra; the V is for the german word "vier", meaning 'four'
My goodness what a complicated subject. This sounds like an undergraduate course! Are you in college?
undergrad?  group theory is everywhere in mathematics.  and no, haven't been in college for 30 years ...
Wow then I must study more! I see that Birkhoff was a famous mathematician. Do you know of the lattice theory?
yes.  that's universal algebra - the 1988 book is considered foundational in both abstract and universal algebras, due to the pioneering work of its authors
Magnificent. Would I be correct to assume you are in the field of mathematics?
no!  but it's necessarily related to what i do do.  for instance, to drive the batmobile you have to know some group theory; it makes driving thru gotham so much easier at those speeds ...
Interesting! Could you elaborate more on how group theory relates to city driving?
