Abstract

The mathematical aspects of the popular logic game Sudoku incorporate a significant number of the group theory concepts. In this note, we describe all symmetric transformations of the Sudoku grid. We do not intend to obtain a new strategy of solving Sudoku and do not describe basic ideas of the game which can be found in numerous other sources.
