Theorems in group theory

Fitting's theorem

Fitting's theorem is a mathematical theorem proved by Hans Fitting. It can be stated as follows: If M and N are nilpotent normal subgroups of a group G, then their product MN is also a nilpotent normal subgroup of G; if, moreover, M is nilpotent of class m and N is nilpotent of class n, then MN is nilpotent of class at most m + n. By induction it follows also that the subgroup generated by a finite collection of nilpotent normal subgroups is nilpotent. This can be used to show that the Fitting subgroup of certain types of groups (including all finite groups) is nilpotent. However, a subgroup generated by an infinite collection of nilpotent normal subgroups need not be nilpotent. (Wikipedia).

Convex Norms and Unique Best Approximations

In this video, we explore what it means for a norm to be convex. In particular we will look at how convex norms lead to unique best approximations. For example, for any continuous function there will be a unique polynomial which gives the best approximation over a given interval. Chapte

Approximating Functions in a Metric Space

Approximations are common in many areas of mathematics from Taylor series to machine learning. In this video, we will define what is meant by a best approximation and prove that a best approximation exists in a metric space. Chapters 0:00 - Examples of Approximation 0:46 - Best Aproximati

The Squeeze Theorem

The best way to define the Squeeze Theorem is with an example. We'll use it to prove a common limit: (sin θ)/θ as θ → 0. Trapped between the closing vice grip of sec x and cos x, our desired limit emerges.
