Permutation group: a set of permutations of $A$ that forms a group under function composition
Symmetric group: $S_n = $ permutations of ${1, 2, &amp;hellip;, n}$, $|S_n| = n!$
Disjoint cycles commute
multiply the following two permutations in cycle notation
Write the permutation as a product of transpositions: $(12)(23)&amp;hellip;(n-1n) = (12)(13)&amp;hellip;(1n)$
Order of a permutation: The order of a permutation of a finite set is the least common multiple of the lengths of the cycles</description></item><item><title>All About Chord Master</title><link>https://fanzhangg.github.io/blog/about-chord-master/</link><pubDate>Sat, 15 Feb 2020 21:50:47 +0530</pubDate><guid>https://fanzhangg.github.io/blog/about-chord-master/</guid><description>What are you building?

His choice of animation avoids the collaboration with other people and compromises with the commercial market and allows him the complete freedom of expressing his subjective view. In his film, the money is the definitive protagonist, who is the object of desire by all characters and the cause of the tragedy.</description></item><item><title>Chungking Express: Hong Kong’s Identity of Becoming</title><link>https://fanzhangg.github.io/blog/chungking-express/</link><pubDate>Sat, 15 Feb 2020 21:50:47 +0530</pubDate><guid>https://fanzhangg.github.io/blog/chungking-express/</guid><description>Chungking Express tells juxtaposing two stories of urban lives and modern loves. Both stories’ protagonists work as a cop; Both stories are about their struggle to cope with the loss of their ex-girlfriend respectively. In this approach, the director Wang Kai Wai uses the mutability of the individual identity to indicate the uncertainty of Hong Kong identity. Hong Kong’s social-politics is frustrating through the city’s transition from colonialism to post-colonialism; Its cultural identity is disguised with the popularity of US culture in Hong Kong.</description></item><item><title>Suzhou River: Make a Movie</title><link>https://fanzhangg.github.io/blog/suzhou-river/</link><pubDate>Sat, 15 Feb 2020 21:50:47 +0530</pubDate><guid>https://fanzhangg.github.io/blog/suzhou-river/</guid><description>In the film Suzhou River, the narrator, or the videographer asserts that his camera does not lie. For the director, he answers the question through the film, “Does the camera lie?” Using the story-within-a-story technique, he explores the interplay between fiction and reality. While he questions the film’s ability to mirror the reality, he underlines the role of a film, or a fictional work in general, as a median to communicate ideas and feelings.</description></item><item><title>Three Times of History</title><link>https://fanzhangg.github.io/blog/three-times/</link><pubDate>Sat, 15 Feb 2020 21:50:47 +0530</pubDate><guid>https://fanzhangg.github.io/blog/three-times/</guid><description>Hou Hsia-Hsien’s film Three Times is composed of three love stories. The minimization of the plot and scene makes the film more authentic and leaves space for audience to speculate the unspoken message of the director. The three stories conveys Hou’s interpretation of three stages of Taiwan history, from the Japanese occupation ear, American psychological colonization period, to the urban modern time.
The first story “Time of Love” represents the subtle relationship between Taiwan and the United States in the 1960s.</description></item><item><title>Algebraic Sturcture 101</title><link>https://fanzhangg.github.io/blog/algebraic-structure/</link><pubDate>Sat, 15 Feb 2020 19:50:47 +0530</pubDate><guid>https://fanzhangg.github.io/blog/algebraic-structure/</guid><description>Group Group Group: A group is a non-empty set $G$ with binary operation satisfying:
Identity: exists $e \in G$ such as $ea = ae = a$ Inverse: for each $a \in G$, exists a $b \in G$ such as $ab = ba = e$ Associative: for all $a, b, c \in G$, we have $a(bc) = (ab)c$ Properties:
