'''โ๐,๐,๐. ๐โ(๐โ๐)=(๐โ๐)โ๐''' * '''commutative''' - ๐ถ๐ท = ๐ถ๐ท. '''โ๐,๐. ๐โ๐=๐โ๐''' * '''Identity element''': There exists an element โฏ such that for each element ๐, โฏโ๐ = ๐ = ๐โโฏ ; formally: '''โโฏ โ๐. โฏโ๐=๐=๐โโฏ'''. The identity element of multiplication is 1 as 1ร๐=๐=๐ร1. The identity of addition is 0 as 0+๐=๐=๐+0. * '''Inverse element''': It can easily be seen that the identity element is unique.

The multiplicative inverse: '''๐ถ๐ถโปยน=1=๐ถโปยน๐ถ''' * '''domain''' - The set of elements on which a function has a valid definition is it's domain. For '''๐ป: XโY''', X is the domain. * '''codomain / target''' - The possible set that a function outputs. For '''๐ป: XโY''', X is the target. There may be things in the target that aren't actually reachable by the function. * '''image / range''' - The set of elements that a function maps to and no more. This is like the '''target''' but only the possible elements are in the set. For example the '''cos''' function could be defined as having a target of the real numbers, but the range could only be between -1 and 1. It is not always possible to define the range. Concepts of Modern Mathematics (pg. ~67). Some ambiguity as sometimes 'range' refers to the codomain. * '''homomorphism''' - A category of function. Preserves the structure. '''๐ป: XโY'''. '''๐ป(a)๐ป(b)=๐ป(c)''' and '''๐ถ๐ท=๐ธ'''. A homomorphism of vector spaces is referred to as a '''linear map'''. * '''injection''' - Each target element must be reachable from only one element in the domain. It does not need to be '''surjective''', meaning that it's possible to have elements in the target that aren't reachable at all. But you can not have an element in the domain that is reachable from more than one target element. cos is not an injection because an infinite number of inputs get mapped to values between -1 and 1. * '''surjection (onto)''' - If every element of a target set T is reachable by a function, that function is a surjection '''onto''' T. This means the target is also the range. Does not need to be an injection. - Concepts of Modern Mathematics (pg. 70). * '''bijection''' - A bijection is invertible. It is an '''injection''' and a '''surjection'''. A function which relates each member of a set S (the domain) to a separate and distinct member of another set T (the range), where each member in T also has a corresponding member in S. A mapping that is both one-to-one (an injection) and onto (a surjection). * '''isomorphism''' - A '''homomorphism''' that is also a '''bijection'''. An operation-preserving bijection. A homomorphism with an inverse that is also a homomorphism. '''๐ป: XโY, โ: YโX''' * '''automorphism''' - Galios Groups related. An isomorphism from a structure to itself. * '''Abelion''' - An abelian group/operation is '''commutative'''. ==Structures== ==='''Set'''=== * A collection of elements. ==='''Group'''=== An algebraic structure that is a set with a single binary operation. An '''infinite group''' has an unlimited number of elements. (โค, +) A '''finite groups''' has a finite number of elements. (โคโ, +) - The integers mod m. The order of an element is the number of elements in the subgroup it generates. |2| = 3 * '''(๐พ, โ)''' - Group '''๐พ''' with operation '''โ'''. * Axioms ** The operation must be '''closed'''. - '''a,b โ ๐พ โ aโb โ ๐พ''' ** The operation must be '''associative'''. - '''(aโb)โc = aโ(bโc)''' ** Operation must have an '''identity''' element that has no effect on any other element under operation.

'''โค, โ, โ, โ, โคโ''' are all '''unital commutative rings.''' '''๐โ(โ)''' the set of all '''2ร2 real matrices''' is a non-commutative '''ring''' as matrix multiplication is not commutative. * '''+''' must be '''abelian'''. * '''ร''' must be '''closed''' and '''associative'''. * [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syHBApgJhsA Bill Shillito - Rings and Fields] * '''(R, +, โ)''' ** '''(R, +)''' is an '''abelian group''' - '''addition''' *** '''Closed''' *** '''Associative''' *** Identity - '''Additive identity''' *** Inverse - '''Additive inverse โa''' *** '''Commutative''' ** '''(R, โ)''' *** Closed under '''ร''' *** Operation '''ร''' must be '''associative'''. ** '''+''' and '''ร''' must be linked by the '''distributive property'''. Multiplication distributes over addition. *** aร(b+c) = aรb+aรc *** (a+b)รc = aรc+bรc **** 0รa = aร0 = 0 - Zero times anything is zero **** aรโb = โaรb = โ(aรb) - A positive times a negative is a negative. **** โaรโb = aรb - A negative times a negative is a positive. * '''ร''' '''might''' not be '''commutative'''. If it is then it is a '''commutative ring''' (not called abelian which is only for groups). * If the ring has a '''multiplicative identity''' then it is a '''unital ring'''. For '''โค, โ, โ, โ, โคโ''' the '''multiplicative identity''' is 1. For '''๐โ(โ)''' it is the '''identity matrix'''. * An element of a unital ring that has a multiplicative inverse is called a '''unit'''. Not every element is necessarily a unit. In โค only 1 and โ1. * If '''every element other than 0 is a unit'''. It is a '''division ring'''. โ is a division ring. * A '''zero divisor''' of a ring is a nonzero element that can be multiplied by some other nonzero element to produce 0. In โคโ, 2, 3 and 4 are zero divisors. 2ร3=0 * An element '''can not''' be a '''unit''' and a '''zero divisor'''. * An '''integral domain''' is a '''commutative, unital ring''' with '''no zero divisors'''. '''โค, โ, โ, โ''' are '''integral domains'''. ** โคโ is not necessarily an integral domain. '''โคโ''' is an integral domain '''if p is a prime number'''. ** In an integral domain you can '''cancel factors''' from both sides of an equation. '''<strike>2</strike>รx=<strike>2</strike>ร3''' ====Polynomial Ring==== A '''monomial''' is the product of a number and a non-negative integer power of a variable. eg: 2xยณ A '''polynomial''' is a finite sum of monomials. aโ+aโx+aโxยฒ+aโxยณ+โฆ+aโxโฟ n is the degree of the polynomial. It's highest power. Some polynomial rings: โค[๐], โ[๐], โ[๐], โ[๐], โคโ[๐] In '''โ[x]''' we can take congruents to the modulus '''๐ยฒ+1'''. Two polynomials are congruent if their difference is divisible by '''๐ยฒ+1'''. This makes the polynomial ring behave like complex numbers. When using a ''''prime' polynomial''' as modulus, the '''polynomial ring''' is a '''field'''. '''๐ยณ+๐ยฒ-2๐+3 โก -3๐+2 (mod ๐ยฒ+1)''' Mentioned in a concrete guide to modern mathematics, page 90. ==='''Field'''=== Like a ring with stricter multiplication axioms. A '''field''' is a division ring where '''ร''' is '''commutative, unital''' and has '''no zero divisors''' and '''every nonzero element is a unit'''. A field forms an abelian group under both addition and multiplication. * A set with 2 binary operations (+, ร) * Both must be '''commutative''' and '''associative''' * Operations must have '''identity elements''' ('''+''' is '''0''' and '''ร''' is '''1''') * Every element must have an '''inverse''' (x = -x, x = 1/x) * Must follow the '''distributive law'''. * Must be '''closed under addition, multiplication, taking of inverses''' (Results must in in the same set). '''โ, โ, โ''' are '''fields'''. '''โคโ''' is a field '''if p is prime'''. '''โค''' is '''not a field'''. '''โ''' is the '''completion''' of โ. It allows for '''calculus'''. '''โ''' is '''algebraically closed'''. Every polynomial equation in โ[x] has solutions in โ. But '''โ''' is '''not ordered'''. ==='''Vector Space'''=== * Like a 2D or 3D plane.

'''Dโ''' is the '''dihedral group''' of the '''triangle'''. '''Dโโ Zโ''', '''Dโโ Kโ'''. * '''Eโบ(n)''' - The '''direct isometries''', i.e., isometries '''preserving orientation''', also called '''rigid motions'''; they are the moves of a rigid body in n-dimensional space. These include the translations, and the rotations, which together generate '''Eโบ(n)'''. Also called a '''special Euclidean group''', and denoted '''SE(n)'''. * '''T - Translation Group''' - T is a normal subgroup of E(n). T โ E(n). * '''Sโ - Symmetry Groups''' - '''Sโ''' the '''symmetric group''' of 3 elements. '''Sโ''' is '''isomorphic''' to '''Dโ'''.

The group of distance-preserving transformations of a Euclidean space of dimension n that preserve a fixed point, where the group operation is given by composing transformations ('''โ'''). It is equivalent to the group of nรn orthogonal matrices, where the group operation is given by matrix multiplication; an orthogonal matrix is a real matrix whose inverse equals its transpose. O(n, โ) is a subgroup of E(n), contains those that leave the origin fixed. * '''SO(n) - Special Orthogonal''' - Rotation group. '''SO(2)''' is the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_group circle group]. '''SO(3)''' is the group of all rotations about the origin of three-dimensional Euclidean space '''โยณ''' under the operation of composition ('''โ'''). eg '''Roll, Pitch, Yaw'''. '''Non-commutative'''. '''SO(n) โค O(n)'''. * '''POโ(โ)''' - '''Projective orthogonal group'''. '''PSO(V)''' for '''projective special orthogonal group'''. * '''GLโ(๐ฝ) - General Linear''' - '''Linear''' means '''matrix'''. The group of all nรn matrices with non-zero determinants under matrix multiplication. '''nonabelian''' group because matrix operations are non-commutative. The set of nรn invertible matrices, together with the operation of ordinary matrix multiplication. The group '''GLโ(โ)''' over the field of real numbers is a real '''Lie group''' of dimension '''nยฒ''' as the set of all nรn real matrices, '''Mโ(โ)''', forms a real vector space of dimension '''nยฒ'''. * '''Special Linear: SL(n)''' - Is the subgroup of '''GL(n, ๐ฝ)''' consisting of '''matrices with a determinant of 1'''.

Contains '''GL'''. * '''Sp(n)''' - The '''compact symplectic''' group '''Sp(n)''' is often written as '''USp(2n)''', indicating the fact that it is '''isomorphic''' to the '''group of unitary symplectic matrices'''. * '''Sp(2n, ๐ฝ)''' - The '''symplectic group''' of degree '''2n''' over a field '''๐ฝ''' is the group of '''2n ร 2n symplectic matrices''' with entries in '''๐ฝ''', and with the group operation that of matrix multiplication. Since all symplectic matrices have determinant 1, the symplectic group is a subgroup of the special linear group '''SL(2n, ๐ฝ)'''. * '''Uโ(โ) - The unitary group''' - A group preserving a sesquilinear form on a module. There is a subgroup, the special unitary group '''SUโ(โ)'''. * <math>\Sigma_A</math> - The permutation group of set A. * โแตหกแต - The solutions of polynomials. Is a '''field'''. Its Elements are called "'''algebraic numbers'''". It is a subset of โ. - Fearless Symmetry p48 * [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_group Wikipedia: Classical group] * [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_finite_simple_groups Wikipedia: List of finite simple groups] * [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_simple_Lie_groups Wikipedia: List of simple Lie groups] ==='''Common Lie Algebras'''=== * '''๐ฐ๐ฌ(3)''' - The '''Lie algebra''' of '''SO(n)''' and would be the '''rate of change''' for Roll, Pitch and Yaw.
