RE: Introduction to Abstract Algebra: Part 1 - Introduction to Groups

Thanks. Just a suggestion: perhaps a post on what commutative really means. The term almost never appears in school algebra so students have no insight that ab=ba is in any way profound! I often show them silly real-world examples, such as a=1 step foward, b=turn 180 degrees.

Great Idea! Thanks!
