We go over how to prove Cayley's Theorem, which states the incredible fact that every group is isomorphic to some permutation group. This proof will require us to construct a group of permutations of G, then show that G is isomorphic to this permutation. There are a fair bit of details to work out, but it is a surprisingly straightforward proof. #abstractalgebra
