Rotating graphs

make negative

i.e. the clockwise rotation matrix for an angle is .


As a sidenote that was drilled into me from group theory, the rotation matrices through angles of along with the reflection matrix form the symmetry group of regular n-gons.

Hey /0 in group theory last year I had a lot of trouble with group actions and was wondering if you could recommend a textbook on group theory.

@Rohitpi: If this kind of maths interests you, may I recommend you also consider a pure maths degree.

The textbook we used was 'Algebra' by Michael Artin. I thought it was really good and if you want it just pm me. Last year we covered chapters 2,5,6 and 10, but there's a lot more advanced material as well. Apparently a new version was recently published too.

A lecturer also told me that for Algebra 2 this year we might be using the notes here http://jmilne.org/math/CourseNotes/index.html

Just out of curiousity, which text did you use?

I would love that book! As for texts we only used bound lecture notes. It was brilliant in one sense but sometimes lacked comprehension in major topics.

I'm inbetween picking Algebra (carries on from Group Theory) or Numerical & Symbolic Maths (A programming subject for Maths students).

Just out of curiosity, what career paths lead from doing maths in uni (other than teaching/lecturing)?

Could lead to some highly paid commerce degrees, but it'd be better to do those degrees straightforward.

It could lead to commerce-related jobs but you'd have to really prove yourself and show the prospective employer that they should hire you and not a person with a commerce degree.

Hmmm... Thanks for the info guys. I'm pretty interested in that sort of maths, but I really don't think commerce is my thing (I'm a more of a mathsy/sciency person).

Just looking at TT's sig, what is 'Actuarial'? (googling it after I post though)? All I've heard is that it has lots of stats, has a high fail rate at uni, and as a career is pays lots (money wise)...

I was going to do just pure maths however commerce has better job prospects which also includes alot of fun mathematics and has higher paid jobs than just doing pure maths.

Also Actuarial studies contains alot of mathematics, lots of probability, but a very high paid job.
