That's the name of the group that's singing. In the song, they're mentioning a totally different mathematical group. I believe order in this context is the cardinality of the set in the group.

the description of the video mentions we are talking about The Klein Four Group which has cardinality four

if the path of love is (never smooth on a given interval)oe as to wonder what mapings would make it continuos for you

Great! What about hte original's name?

Multiple math meanings of order: order of a group means cardinality, order of an element means least repeated operations to get identity, and order as in a1<a2<a3...

If the singer is the identity element then they may not have a good love life as he would be idempotent.

No no, he said he was a PhD student at STANFORD, that's believable-- I pretty much expected him to miss *all* of the references.

If he loses his partner, they're no longer a group of order 2, irrespective of who represents the identity element. I would assume the singer is the identity element, not that the girl is the identity element and that he's implying he's losing his lover by "losing his identity".

Pretty sure "order" meaning cardinality is fine. Group of order 2-- cardniality being the number of elements-- and there's two elements (people) in the group (relationship). Sorry if I'm mistaken, but I don't get where you're coming up with "order four".

Pretty sure I disagree-- linear & abstract algebra, topology, etc... pretty sure you don't need any of that to teach high school math.

I was also thinking what would happen if all goes well with his identity and they multiply. They would reproduce him.
