Abstract Algebra

Groups, rings, fields: symmetry made into structure.

გაკვეთილებიComment

Introductory Groups The axioms, examples (integers mod n, symmetries, permutations), order of an element. 3^100 mod 7 Core Subgroups, cosets and Lagrange's theorem Why the order of a subgroup divides the order of the group. divisors of 12 Core Cyclic groups and permutation groups Generators, orders, cycles, transpositions, parity. inverse of 5 mod 12 Core Homomorphisms, normal subgroups and quotient groups Structure-preserving maps, kernels, and the first isomorphism theorem. 12 mod 5 Core Rings and fields Two operations: integers, polynomials, ℤ/n, and when division is possible. inverse of 7 mod 11 Advanced Galois theory: why the quintic has no formula Field extensions, the Galois group, and solvability by radicals. x^3 + x + 1 = 0

Take the rules that integers obey, keep only the rules, and ask what else obeys them. Groups capture symmetry, rings capture arithmetic, fields capture solvability. Galois used them to prove the quintic has no formula.

Questions people ask

What is a group, in plain words?

A set with one operation that is associative, has an identity, and lets every element be undone. Symmetries of any object form a group. That is where the idea came from.

What is the difference between a ring and a field?

A ring has addition and multiplication that behave like the integers (you cannot always divide); a field is a ring where every non-zero element has a reciprocal, like the rationals or the reals.
