## An excursion in Linear Algebra

Pick up any odd book on linear algebra. Matrices, base changes, eigen-values will pop up. It is hard to appreciate why an intelligent person should spend hours and days, mastering these skills. Our excursion, begins with an attempt to understand that very thing:...

## 4 questions from Sylow’s theorem: Qn 4

Prove that if |G| = 8000 then G is not simple . SOLUTION If $$|G| = 2^3 \times 10^3 = 2^6 \times 5^3 \\ consider \ , \ n_5 = (5k+1) | 2^6 \\ n_5 = 1 , 16 \\ n_2 = (2k +1) | |G| \\ \Rightarrow n_2 = 5 \ , 25 ,\ 125$$ . Let , H and K are two Sylow – 5- subgroups...

## 4 questions from Sylow’s theorem: Qn 1

Prove that if |G| = 616 then G is not simple . SOLUTION $$|G| = 616 = 2^3 \times 7 \times 11$$ Consider the 11 – sylow subgroup of G . \( n_{11} \mid |G| = 616 \ \ n_{11} = number \ of \ sylow_ {11} subgroup \\ \Rightarrow (11k + 1) \mid 56 \ \Rightarrow n \in...
