Conway algebra

In mathematics, a Conway algebra, introduced by Paweł Traczyk and Józef H. Przytycki and named after John Horton Conway, is an algebraic structure with two binary operations | and * and an infinite number of constants a1, a2,..., satisfying certain identities. Conway algebras can be used to construct invariants of links that are skein invariant. (Wikipedia).

Algebra for Beginners | Basics of Algebra

#Algebra is one of the broad parts of mathematics, together with number theory, geometry and analysis. In its most general form, algebra is the study of mathematical symbols and the rules for manipulating these symbols; it is a unifying thread of almost all of mathematics. Table of Conten

Group Definition (expanded) - Abstract Algebra

The group is the most fundamental object you will study in abstract algebra. Groups generalize a wide variety of mathematical sets: the integers, symmetries of shapes, modular arithmetic, NxM matrices, and much more. After learning about groups in detail, you will then be ready to contin

Symmetric Groups (Abstract Algebra)

Symmetric groups are some of the most essential types of finite groups. A symmetric group is the group of permutations on a set. The group of permutations on a set of n-elements is denoted S_n. Symmetric groups capture the history of abstract algebra, provide a wide range of examples in

RNT1.4. Ideals and Quotient Rings

Ring Theory: We define ideals in rings as an analogue of normal subgroups in group theory. We give a correspondence between (two-sided) ideals and kernels of homomorphisms using quotient rings. We also state the First Isomorphism Theorem for Rings and give examples.

Sporadic groups

This is an informal talk on sporadic groups given to the Archimedeans (the Cambridge undergraduate mathematical society). It discusses the classification of finite simple groups and some of the sporadic groups, and finishes by briefly describing monstrous moonshine. For other Archimedeans

We give a description of a variant to the proof of the Classification theorem for two dimensional combinatorial surfaces, due to John Conway and called the ZIP proof. Our approach to this is somewhat algebraic. We think about spheres with holes that are then zipped together rather than pol

GT23. Composition and Classification

Abstract Algebra: We use composition series as another technique for studying finite groups, which leads to the notion of solvable groups and puts the focus on simple groups. From there, we survey the classification of finite simple groups and the Monster group.

Theory of numbers: Multiplicative functions

This lecture is part of an online undergraduate course on the theory of numbers. Multiplicative functions are functions such that f(mn)=f(m)f(n) whenever m and n are coprime. We discuss some examples, such as the number of divisors, the sum of the divisors, and Euler's totient function.
