Dihedral group Updated 2025-07-16
Our notation: , called "dihedral group of degree n", means the dihedral group of the regular polygon with sides, and therefore has order (all rotations + flips), called the "dihedral group of order 2n".
Direct product Updated 2025-07-16
A Cartesian product that carries over some extra structure of the input groups.
E.g. the direct product of groups carries over group structure on both sides.

Simple group Updated 2025-07-16
Does not have any non-trivial normal subgroup.
And therefore, going back to our intuition that due to the fundamental theorem on homomorphisms there is one normal group per homomorphism, a simple group is one that has no non-trivial homomorphisms.

What Mental Breakdown Of a Wikipedia Moderator looks like by Vince Vintage

In the 2010's/2020's, many people got excited about getting children in to electronics with cheap devboards, notably with Raspberry Pi and Arduino.
While there is some potential in that, Ciro Santilli always felt that this is very difficult to do, while also keeping his sacred principle of backward design in mind.
The reason for this is that "everyone" already has much more powerful computers at hand: their laptops/desktops and even mobile phones as of the 2020s. Except perhaps if you are thing specifically about poor countries.
Therefore, the advantage using such devboards for doing something that could useful must come from either:
