Abstract/Summary

The Rubik's cube is a solid block of twenty seven cubes, linked together so that each layer can be rotated by its center. The Rubik's cube puzzle is a recreational game in which its objective is to restore the cube so that each face has the same color. This thesis illustrates the application of the theory on groups and permutations on solving the Rubik's cube puzzle. An important part of the thesis is the development of computer program which illustrates every movement of the cube.
