Talk:Solvable group

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Polya's dictum : "if there's a problem you can't figure out, there's a simpler problem you can't (?) figure out" seems wrong. Moreover, the opposite sentence "if there's a problem you can't figure out, there's a simpler problem you can figure out" is obviously a reformulation from the works of René Descartes.

"as every simple, abelian group must be cyclic of prime order" seems to be wrong; actually as every simple, abelian group must be products of cyclic groups (may not be of prime order).

Every simple abelian group is cyclic of prime order. For an abelian group to be simple it must not have any proper non-trivial subgroups, because all its subgroups are normal. --Zundark 07:49, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)
