Rings and fields

Two operations: integers, polynomials, ℤ/n, and when division is possible.

A ring has addition and multiplication like the integers; a field additionally lets you divide by anything non-zero. ℤ/p is a field exactly when p is prime. Every non-zero element has an inverse. Picture it: the multiplication table of ℤ/7: every row is a permutation. Think it: polynomials over a field behave like integers (unique factorisation, Euclid's algorithm), which is why algebra and number theory rhyme.

Inverse of 7 mod 11

7,\ 11

Korak po koraku

  1. 7x \equiv 1 \pmod{11}

    We want x with a·x ≡ 1 (mod m). It exists only when gcd(a, m) = 1.

  2. 11 = 1 \times 7 + 4

    Euclid step.

  3. 7 = 1 \times 4 + 3

    Euclid step.

  4. 4 = 1 \times 3 + 1

    Euclid step.

  5. 3 = 3 \times 1 + 0

    Euclid step.

  6. 7 \times 8 = 56 \equiv 1 \pmod{11}

    Back-substitute (extended Euclid) to express 1 as a combination of a and m; the coefficient of a is the inverse.

Vprašanja, ki jih ljudje sprašujejo

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.
