Understanding Cyclic Groups in Abstract Algebra 🧮

Cyclic groups are the building blocks of abelian groups. There are finite and infinite cyclic groups. In this video we will define cyclic groups, give a list of all cyclic groups, talk about the name “cyclic,” and see why they are so essential in abstract algebra.
