2. Read the previous statement

tl;dr

I don't give two fucks if YOU care about group theory. YOU would never have contributed anything to mathematics anyway.

Isn't it the foundation of some functional programming languages, like haskell or something?

where's that obligatory copypasta with
>zooms in with sweat already dripping from his forehead

All other math is useless because it can be done with a calculator. Group theory is actually fun.

You can use group theory to solve the Rubik's Cube, that's a real application, isn't it?

And if that's not real enough, Eugene Wigner taught us on the 30's that elementary particle can be understood as irreducible representations of the symmetry group (Poincaré, flavour...).

Yes you can, in fact group theory is essential for the study of symmetries in classical/quantum field theory, once again, OP is a faggot

I somewhat used group theory in a programming assignment once

>>8511946
five is a shit tier number though

Pretty essential for any molecular spectroscopy and things as simple as bonding. Chemfag here

pick any book on modern physics
niggas won't shut up about lie groups, Poincaré group, special orthonormal groups and whatever

>>8511809
concepts of symmetry and groups are one of the basics of spectroscopy
tl;dr correlation of symmetry and energylevels
