Group Theory & Physics (2): Example and Intuition The set of all n x n matrices does 𝒏𝒐𝒕 form a group, but the set of n x n 𝒊𝒏𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒃𝒍𝒆 matrices does. This group is known as the General Linear Group, denoted GL(n).pic.twitter.com/9nqMVWPKgH

Replying to @InertialObservr
more Lie groups and why they're important for physics SU(2) SO(3) ...E8?!!?!
