Structure (mathematical logic)

In universal algebra and in model theory, a structure consists of a set along with a collection of finitary operations and relations that are defined on it. Universal algebra studies structures that generalize the algebraic structures such as groups, rings, fields and vector spaces. The term universal algebra is used for structures with no relation symbols. Model theory has a different scope that encompasses more arbitrary theories, including foundational structures such as models of set theory. From the model-theoretic point of view, structures are the objects used to define the semantics of first-order logic. For a given theory in model theory, a structure is called a model if it satisfies the defining axioms of that theory, although it is sometimes disambiguated as a semantic model when one discusses the notion in the more general setting of mathematical models. Logicians sometimes refer to structures as "interpretations", whereas the term "interpretation" generally has a different (although related) meaning in model theory, see interpretation (model theory). In database theory, structures with no functions are studied as models for relational databases, in the form of relational models. (Wikipedia).

Algebraic Structures: Groups, Rings, and Fields

This video covers the definitions for some basic algebraic structures, including groups and rings. I give examples of each and discuss how to verify the properties for each type of structure.

Logic: The Structure of Reason

As a tool for characterizing rational thought, logic cuts across many philosophical disciplines and lies at the core of mathematics and computer science. Drawing on Aristotle’s Organon, Russell’s Principia Mathematica, and other central works, this program tracks the evolution of logic, be

Sets and other data structures | Data Structures in Mathematics Math Foundations 151

In mathematics we often want to organize objects. Sets are not the only way of doing this: there are other data types that are also useful and that can be considered together with set theory. In particular when we group objects together, there are two fundamental questions that naturally a

Fun with lists, multisets and sets IV | Data structures in Mathematics Math Foundations 161

In this video we complete our initial discussion of the four types of basic data structures by describing sets, which are unordered and without repetition. As usual we restrict ourselves to very concrete and specific examples: k-sets from n, where k is a natural number or zero, and n is a

Arithmetical expressions as natural numbers | Data structures in Mathematics Math Foundations 194

Primitive natural numbers and Hindu Arabic numerals can be pinned down very concretely and precisely. But what about numbers expressed via more elaborate arithmetical expressions, perhaps involving towers of exponents, or hyperoperations? Is there a consistent and logical proper way of set
