Group theory is that branch of mathematics concerned with the study of groups. It has several applications in physics and chemistry. Please refer to the glossary of group theory for the definitions of terms used throughout group theory. See also the list of group theory topics.

Groups are used throughout mathematics, often to capture the internal symmetry of other structures, in the form of automorphism groups. An internal symmetry of a structure is usually associated with an invariant property; the set of transformations that preserve this invariant property, together with the operation of composition of transformations, form a group called a symmetry group.

In Galois theory, which is the historical origin of the group concept, one uses groups to describe the symmetries of the equations satisfied by the solutions to a polynomial equation. The solvable groups are so-named because of their prominent role in this theory.
