| Sep 10, 2018 at 11:48 | comment | added | Gerald Edgar | The English usage of center of a group presumably is merely a translation of the German Zentrum. But that merely moves the question to the reason for the German terminology. I looked in my old German copy of van der Waerden, but he give no reason for the term Zentrum. | |
