Intro to Abstract Math
The center of a group, denoted as Z(G), is the set of all elements in a group G that commute with every element of G. This means that for any element z in Z(G) and any element g in G, the equation z * g = g * z holds true. Understanding the center is crucial as it helps identify normal subgroups and plays a significant role in the structure of quotient groups.
