==='''Group'''=== An algebraic structure that is a set with a single binary operation. An '''infinite group''' has an unlimited number of elements. (ℤ, +) A '''finite groups''' has a finite number of elements. (ℤₘ, +) - The integers mod m. The order of an element is the number of elements in the subgroup it generates. |2| = 3 * '''(𝔾, ∗)''' - Group '''𝔾''' with operation '''∗'''. * Axioms ** The operation must be '''closed'''. - '''a,b ∈ 𝔾 → a∗b ∈ 𝔾''' ** The operation must be '''associative'''. - '''(a∗b)∗c = a∗(b∗c)''' ** Operation must have an '''identity''' element that has no effect on any other element under operation. '''∃e(a∗e = e∗a = a)'''. ** Every element must have an '''inverse'''. An element when combined with the original will return the identity. '''∀a∃a⁻¹(a∗a⁻¹=a⁻¹∗a=e)''' * '''(ℤ, +)''' - The integers under addition. ** Closure: '''a,b ∈ ℤ → a+b ∈ ℤ''' ** Associativity: '''(a+b)+c = a+(b+c)''' ** Identity: '''a+0 = 0+a = a''' ** Inverse: '''a⁻¹ = -a''' * '''(ℤ, ×)''' - The integers under multiplication it '''not a group''' ** Closure: '''a,b ∈ ℤ → a×b ∈ ℤ''' ** Associativity: '''(a×b)×c = a×(b×c)''' ** Identity: '''a×1 = 1×a = a''' ** '''NO''' Inverse: '''2x=1 has no solution in ℤ''' * If the operation is also '''commutative''' then it is an '''Abelian''' group. * [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwndchnEDS4 Bill Shillito].
