Abstract Algebra

Groups, rings, fields: symmetry made into structure.

Lições

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.

Perguntas que as pessoas fazem

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.
