.Open Group Theory . Motivation Groups turn up whenever we have a set of reversible operations. The numbers with adddition, numbers (without zero) and multiplication, the movements of a figure on the plane, or a beer glass in space all follow a similar pattern of operations that we call a group. A group is anything that has most of the algebraic properties of the numbers with respect either addition. Groups are are a rich and well explored algebra. .
