Hi

Below are some suggestions for this entry:

1) Consider this restructuring of the proof:

 If a,b,c,d are elements in G, then
 (a.b).(c.d) = a.(b.(c.d))
 = a.(b.c).d
 Thus,
 (a.b).(b'.a') = a.(b.b').a'
 = a.a' = e
 and
 (b'.a').(a.b) = b'.(a'.a).b
 = b'.b
 = e
 here .= product, ' = inverse.

 This is a matter of taste, but I think that this would make
 the proof much easier to read.

2) Currently, the last equation should not end with a comma.

3) Consider renaming the entry to 'inverse of a product'
