Extract

Among the first examples of groups encountered in group theory are the symmetric and alternating groups and the general linear groups. The purpose of this article is to describe these groups and to describe two unusual functions between groups of this type, in a language which can be understood by those with only an elementary knowledge of group theory and no knowledge of linear algebra or projective geometry.
