Groups

The axioms, examples (integers mod n, symmetries, permutations), order of an element.

A group is a set with an associative operation, an identity and inverses. The integers mod 7 under addition; the non-zero ones under multiplication; the six symmetries of a triangle. Picture it: the rotations and reflections of a triangle composing. That is the group S₃ acting. Think it: "3¹⁰⁰ mod 7" is a computation in the cyclic group (ℤ/7)*, whose order 6 is why Fermat's little theorem works.

3^100 mod 7

3,\ 100,\ 7

Korak po korak

3^{100} \bmod 7
Never compute the huge power. Reduce after every multiplication (repeated squaring).
3 \equiv 3 \pmod{7}
Reduce the base first.
100 = 1100100_2
Write the exponent in binary: 7 squarings at most.
3^2 \equiv 2 \pmod{7}
Square the running power.
2^2 \equiv 4 \pmod{7}
Square the running power.
r \leftarrow r \cdot 4 \equiv 4 \pmod{7}
This bit is 1: multiply the result by the current power.
4^2 \equiv 2 \pmod{7}
Square the running power.
2^2 \equiv 4 \pmod{7}
Square the running power.
4^2 \equiv 2 \pmod{7}
Square the running power.
r \leftarrow r \cdot 2 \equiv 1 \pmod{7}
This bit is 1: multiply the result by the current power.
2^2 \equiv 4 \pmod{7}
Square the running power.
r \leftarrow r \cdot 4 \equiv 4 \pmod{7}
This bit is 1: multiply the result by the current power.
3^{100} \equiv 4 \pmod{7}
Done.

Kako: Groups

Check closure: the operation of any two elements stays in the set.
Find the identity element.
Find each element's inverse.
Associativity usually comes for free from the underlying arithmetic; say why.

Pitanja koja ljudi postavljaju

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.
