I finally finished Open University Maths course M208 TMA02 (Tutor Marked Assessment)
It was about Group Theory.
The classification of all simple finite groups is one of the great achievements of mankind and much of science depends upon group theory, which is fundamental to all discussions of symmetries of the universe, space and time.
But it is a bit boring....
I think this is because Group Theory really is so basic to the universe. It describes the Lego bricks the world is made from. But one individual Lego brick is a bit dull, until you put a lot of them together.
