Cosets in Group Theory | Abstract Algebra

We introduce cosets of subgroups in groups, these are wonderful little discrete math structures, and we'll see coset examples and several coset theorems in this video. If H is a subgroup of a group G, and a is an element of G, then Ha is the set of all products ha where a is fixed and h ranges over H. Ha is called a left coset of H in G, and the right coset aH is defined similarly. We will see finite cosets and infinite cosets. #abstractalgebra #grouptheory Join Wrath of Math to get exclusive videos, lecture notes, and more: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyEKvaxi8mt9FMc62MHcliw/join Abstract Algebra Course: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLztBpqftvzxVvdVmBMSM4PVeOsE5w1NnN Abstract Algebra Exercises: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLztBpqftvzxVQNtNnXeHB_1yquKUY98Xz Get the textbook for this course! https://amzn.to/3IjoZaO ★DONATE★ ◆ Support Wrath of Math on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/wrathofmathlessons ◆ Donate on PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/wrathofmath Outro music by Ben Watts and is available for channel members.

Our discussions of cosets will eventually lead to a proof of a famous result: Lagrange's Theorem.
