Re: [Axiom-developer] algebras <=> groups

[root]

Bill,

The thought was triggered by this quote:

  Groups and algebras have this in common, that they each employ a process
  of multiplication that is associative but not necessarily commutative.
  The problem that immediately suggests itself, then, is to examine the
  connection between the two theories. This connection is quite intimate,
  for connected with every finite group there is an associated algebra 
  called the group algebra. It is sometimes called after Frobenius, who
  published a number of papers exploring this problem, the Frobenius
  algebra of the group.
