When things go round and round, a cyclic group may be just what you need!
Groups occur all over mathematics, so it makes sense to find a common language to talk about them all.
It's International Year of Astronomy and all eyes are on Galileo Galilei, whose astronomical observations 400 years ago revolutionised our understanding of the Universe. But few people know that Galileo wasn't the first to build a telescope and turn it on the stars.
