The Fundamental Fysiks Group was founded in San Francisco in May 1975 by two physicists, Elizabeth Rauscher and George Weissmann, at the time both graduate students at the University of California, Berkeley. The group held informal discussions on Friday afternoons to explore the philosophical implications of quantum theory. Leading members included Fritjof Capra, John Clauser, Philippe Eberhard, Nick Herbert, Jack Sarfatti, Saul-Paul Sirag, Henry Stapp, and Fred Alan Wolf. David Kaiser argues, in How the Hippies Saved Physics: Science, Counterculture, and the Quantum Revival (2011), that the group's meetings and papers helped to nurture the ideas in quantum physics that came to form the basis of quantum information science. Two reviewers wrote that Kaiser may have exaggerated the group's influence on the future of physics research, though one of them, Silvan Schweber, wrote that some of the group's contributions are easy to identify, such as Clauser's experimental evidence for non-locality attracting a share of the Wolf Prize in 2010, and the publication of Capra's The Tao of Physics (1975) and Gary Zukav's The Dancing Wu Li Masters (1979) attracting the interest of a wider audience. Kaiser writes that the group were "very smart and very playful", discussing quantum mysticism and becoming local celebrities in the Bay Area's counterculture. When Francis Ford Coppola bought City Magazine in 1975, one of its earliest features was on the Fundamental Fysiks Group, including a photo spread of Sirag, Wolf, Herbert, and Sarfatti. (Wikipedia).

Algebraic topology: Calculating the fundamental group
This lecture is part of an online course on algebraic topology. We calculate the fundamental group of several spaces, such as a ficure 8, or the complement of a circle in R^3, or the group GL3(R). For the other lectures in the course see https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8yHsr3EF

Symmetric Groups (Abstract Algebra)
Symmetric groups are some of the most essential types of finite groups. A symmetric group is the group of permutations on a set. The group of permutations on a set of n-elements is denoted S_n. Symmetric groups capture the history of abstract algebra, provide a wide range of examples in

Algebraic topology: Fundamental group
This lecture is part of an online course on algebraic topology. We define the fundamental group, calculate it for some easy examples (vector spaces and spheres), and give a couple of applications (R^2 is not homeomorphic to R^3, the Brouwer fixedpoint theorem). For the other lectures in

Sergio Zamora (1/20/23): The lower semi-continuity of \pi_1 and nilpotent structures in persistence
When a sequence of compact geodesic spaces X_i converges to a compact geodesic space X, under minimal assumptions there are surjective morphisms $\pi_1(X_i) \to \pi_1(X)$ for i large enough. In particular, a limit of simply connected spaces is simply connected. This is clearly not true for
