Every so often I think about learning more group theory to understand the cube. I took one semester of undergrad algebra but I kinda failed it and forgot everything. So how much background do I need before I can understand enough to use GAP to prove things? I guess it's all finite group stuff and other algebra like rings and fields won't help. I tried reading some book I found online about group theory and rubik's cubes but it didn't go in depth enough to really teach me anything besides basic definitions.
