Description
The programme uses a variety of graphics sequences, animations and three-dimensional models to establish a geometric characterisation of "conjugacy". Specifically, it is proved that two e...lements of a symmetry group are conjugate if an only if the fixed set of one maps to the fixed set of the other. The mapping elements is the conjugating element. (This programme was re-edited in 1995 as FOUM481D)
