Group theory is a branch of mathematics that studies algebraic structures known as groups. A group is defined as a set equipped with a single binary operation that satisfies four fundamental properties: 1. **Closure**: If \\( a \\) and \\( b \\) are elements of the group, then the result of the operation \\( a * b \\) is also in the group.
