Group Definition (expanded) - Abstract Algebra

The group is the most fundamental object you will study in abstract algebra. Groups generalize a wide variety of mathematical sets: the integers, symmetries of shapes, modular arithmetic, NxM matrices, and much more. After learning about groups in detail, you will then be ready to continue your study of abstract algebra be learning about rings, fields, modules and vector spaces.

    Well, that's because the "Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic" is really the fundamental theorem of number theory. On the other hand, they COULD teach number theory sooner. It's not that hard, but it's not requisite for everything else the way calculus is.

    Yes, it's "modulo" -- the Latin ablative case form of "modulus". The meaning of the ablative case form is something like "using the modulus". So in 7 ≡ 2 (mod 5), pronounced "seven is congruent to two mod five", "mod 5" means "using the modulus 5", or "five being the modulus". This is definitely a (minor) error in the script of the video.

    1) "We call this transformation R-squared as we applied it twice." Why R-squared and not 2*R. Is it because "x" is a dimensional operator and not scaler as "•" the dot operator? In other words, if the triangle was moved to the right or left, 'translated', would that be -2X (left) and 2X (right)? And if the triangle was moved to the up or down would that be translation onto the -i (imaginary vs. real number) axis? -2IX and 2IX? 2) If one can rotate it 180° about a vertical axis why not 'swing' 360° it about a horizontal axis positioned at the apex?

    It's called R^2 because you are applying the R operation twice: RR, or R times R, or R squared.

    Michael Sommers Why does applying the rotation twice have to mean R*R? Why can’t we understand stand it as R+R (i.e. 2*R).

    @@Hutt-px1jx its because we call the operation on that group "multiplication" so applying x and then y is written x times y so r times r is r^2. Its just convention. If we called it "plus" like we did for clock arithmetic it would be 2*r.

And if the triangle was moved to the up or down would that be translation onto the -i (imaginary vs. real number) axis? -2IX and 2IX? If it's just convention then call it cosine. Clock arithmetic would seem to be "plus" because it's a scaler and rotational translation has to be multi-dimensional so it's multi-plied ... no? ... 4x5=20 (sq. units) vs. 4•5=20 (scaler).

    ​@@randyzeitman1354 You can also see it's not normal addition nor normal multiplication since in the symmetries of a triangle example it's not even commutative. Also the complex extension of multiplication doesn't apply since calling it multiplication is just a convention. Like the examples with dot products, cross products you bring up-you wouldn't extend those to the complex plane, even though they're still called "multiplication". And about calling it cosine.. the reason it's given the specific name of addition or multiplication is because of how it was discovered: the operation on the modular group on the integers very closely resembles addition, and a common convention is to associate composition of "actions" (in this case the action of doing something to the triangle) to multiplication. I'm not entirely sure where that started, but you can see it in linear algebra when you consider matrix "multiplication" (even though it is technically the composition of the linear functions that each matrix represents, which are transformations (action) of the vector space. And again! not commutative). In fact, similarly to the matrices, the elements of a symmetric group (which in this case were the rotations and flips) are often denoted by functions. So the rotation clockwise would be the function that takes 1->2, 2->3, 3->1, if you imagine how the triangle with the numbered corners looks after that transformation. Then, doing an reflection, r, followed by a flip, f, is the function f(r), which takes the top-most point to f(r(1)), etc. This means that, like with the matrices in LA, the operation is in fact *function composition*, but when we intuitively consider it to be doing certain actions one after the other, we just write it as multiplication.

Please look for sponsorship (example: DUOLINGO) and re-invest in the language content of our good old Brazilian literary (João Guimarães Rosa, Machado de Assis, Cecília Meireles). I and other MILLIONS of Brazilians, sometimes limited by our labor and financial conditions, want many stools without power to follow the EDUCATION you sponsored. Help us to help you come to our sad reality of not often recerber a BILINGUAL education.
