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".

Here's some actual footage of a droplet on a well described more one-off setup:Video 2. Source. From Lancaster University
This American video likely from the 60's shows it with amazing contrast: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UDT2FcyeA4
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.

It is hard to do something useful with a devboard Updated 2025-07-27
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:
- their low cost. This would be an important consideration if you were to mass produce your product, but that is not going to be the case for learners, at least initially.
- their portability, and closely linked their ability to act as sensors
- their ability to act as actuators, which is often missing from regular computers
- them having hardware accelerators that are not normally present in regular computers, e.g. FPGAs or AI accelerators. And then the demo project must demonstrate that the project is able to do something significantly faster/cheaper on the devboard than on a desktop computer.
