Group theory is a powerful method for analyzing abstract and physical systems in which symmetry --the intrinsic property of an object to remain invariant under certain classes of transformations-- is present because the mathematical study of symmetry is systematized and formalized in group theory.

 Projective linear group - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The projective linear group of a vector space V over a field F is the quotient group
where GL(V) is the general linear group on V and Z(V) is the group of all nonzero scalar transformations of V.
The projective linear groups therefore generalise the case PGL(2) of Möbius transformations (sometimes called the Möbius group), which acts on the projective line.

 general linear group@Everything2.com
The general linear group is a useful entry point into the mathematical realm of group theory (roughly, the abstract study of symmetries), since it ties that subject into the more familiar (for most undergraduates) linear algebra.
Translating abstract notions of groups into more recognisable properties of matrices (or, in turn, linear maps) can make it easier to grasp them at first, and provides some indication of the power of such abstraction once it is subsequently applied to other groups (such as those of permutations).
The notion of the general linear group, besides providing a compact way of refering to the invertible matrices, is a starting point for several relations and groups of interest in linear algebra/group theory.

 [General] PHP still the king, ruby follows deep down!
I agree the hype's created but users switching to rails are doing it mostly following the hype and I know quite a many who returned to the good old environment of PHP after switching to rails.
Unless you have a real strong reason to switch to another language, you should stick with the one you're familiar and comfortable with.
I like php too and I am sure it will remain the language of choice for many but I think ruby has a bright future ahead of it and its worth learning.

 Group White Sheet FAQ
The important consequence of faithful representations is that the original group is embedded as a subgroup of the symmetric group.
A primitivity block is a subset of the set on which the group acts in which either the group moves the elements within the subset one to another, or it swaps all the elements of the block with the elements of another block.
Every group action has at least two block systems of imprimitivity which correspond to the two trivial partitions: first, the partition of every element into on equivalence class, and second the partition where every element is in its own class.
