Formal group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Formal groups are intermediate between Lie groups (or algebraic groups) and Lie algebras. Formal group laws over a ring R are often constructed by first writing down their logarithm as a power series with coefficients in R⊗Q, and then proving that the coefficients of the corresponding formal group over R⊗Q actually lie in R. The formal group ring of a formal group law is a cocommutative Hopf algebra analogous to the group ring of a group and to the universal enveloping algebra of a Lie algebra, both of which are also cocommutative Hopf algebras. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Formal_group   (2018 words)

Group (mathematics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Groups are thus essential abstractions in branches of physics involving symmetry principles, such as relativity, quantum mechanics, and particle physics. A group G is said to be an abelian group (or commutative) if the operation is commutative, that is, for all a, b in G, a * b = b * a. Quotient group: Given a group G and a normal subgroup N, the quotient group is the set of cosets of G/N together with the operation (gN)(hN)=ghN. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Group_(mathematics)   (2585 words)

Springer Online Reference Works   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) The concept of a formal group law, and thus of a formal Lie group, can be generalized to the case of arbitrary commutative ground rings (see [2], [5]). The theory of formal groups over fields can be generalized to the case of arbitrary formal ground schemes [7]. Formal groups also are an important tool in algebraic geometry, especially in the theory of Abelian varieties. eom.springer.de /F/f040820.htm   (889 words)

Lawrence Formal Group Housing   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) Formal Group Housing (FGH), implemented in fall 2002, is a housing option available to viable student organizations that have a shared mission, an organizational structure, a desire to live together in campus housing, and a willingness to be responsible for the privilege of occupying such housing. A group that has not maintained the minimum requirement of 90% occupancy on average for all three terms of the years during its compact will not be eligible to re-apply for the same facility but may re-apply for a smaller facility. Since students living in a formal group house are all members of a defined group, their community development may be accomplished through activities that are related to a shared sense of mission. www.lawrence.edu /dept/student_dean/reslife/fgh.shtml   (3032 words)

CFP, ITiCSE 2000 Working Group on Formal Methods Generally these provide opportunities for formal methods educators to share ideas, but there is a growing feeling that something more concrete is needed for those instructors and curriculum designers who are not formal methodists, and for those formal methodists who are coming to teaching the subject for the first time. The working group's primary goal will be to build a clear picture of the support that is available in the area of formal methods education, and to provide guidelines for educators who are coming to teaching formal methods for the first time. The working group will be limited to five to ten participants (including the leaders) who share a common interest in the area of Formal Methods, selected on the basis of their qualifications in the area. www.cs.utexas.edu /users/csed/formal_methods/CFP.html   (1375 words)

Alan Rogers: Looking again at non-formal and informal education - towards a new paradigm Formal education as used here is, of course, the highly institutionalized, chronologically graded and hierarchically structured ‘education system’, spanning lower primary school and the upper reaches of the university (Coombs and Ahmed 1974:8). A formal group is one which does not change as new members join it. An informal group is one which is highly dependent on the individual members, so that if someone joins or leaves, the nature of the group and the activities it can undertake will also change. www.infed.org /biblio/non_formal_paradigm.htm   (3230 words)

Formal Group Proposal Report Develop a formal proposal report as described in Chapter 19 of the textbook. By analyzing your audience, presenting a clear and concise problem statement, offering a persuasive solution, and providing focused supporting information, you will produce a complex document that effectively argues for a particular solution or point of view to a specific problem or issue. Your group proposal will analyze a problem or issue and argue for a certain specific course of action or viewpoint based on this analysis. www.faculty.english.ttu.edu /fricke/ASSIGN_proposal.htm   (1182 words)

Formal Methods The methods are "formal" in the sense that they are precise enough to be implemented on a computer. For verification, the input may be a specification and a desired property of system behavior, and the output may be either "Yes, the property is a consequence of the specification.", or "No, and here's why not:... Although a complete formal verification of a large complex system is impractical at this time, formal methods are applied to various aspects, or properties, of large systems. www.cs.toronto.edu /fm   (241 words)

Informal group dynamics. If the informal leader fails to meet the group's expectations, he or she is deposed and replaced by another. The informal group's judgment of its leaders tends to be quicker and more cold-blooded than that of most formal groups. One quick and sure method of changing a group is to cause the leader to change one or more of his or her characteristics. www.accel-team.com /work_groups/informal_grps_02.html   (365 words)

[No title] Formal guidelines can give members the feeling that they are in control of their destiny as a group. Groups that use the Reflective Thinking procedure can fall into this "natural" process; the problem is that groups may neglect to evaluate certain proposals against all criteria. For example, formal procedures are thought to help group members feel that their discussion is organized, that they can evaluate the quality of their decision making, and that they are in control of their destiny. www.udel.edu /communication/COMM356/pavitt/chap13.htm   (15114 words)

Department of Pure Mathematics and Computer Algebra Specifically, our group focuses on applications of formal specification and verification in the domains of hardware memories and caching algorithms, software refactoring and optimisation, development of FPGA software and distributed algorithms, streamed video applications. A formally verified specification only yields weak guaranties for effective reliability, since the specification still has to be translated correctly into executable code or working hardware. Currently, our research group is developing another variant of the classical first order logic, using partially defined iota terms and whose semantic treatment of undefinedness is more akin to that of PVS. cage.rug.ac.be /zwc/formal.en.html   (711 words)

Asynchronous Collaborative Learning Activities: Group, formal learning & Informal learning One of the major difference of formal learning and informal learning is the context in which we conduct our learning. At least with the current education system, during formal learning, we have a relatively steady group which we interact and work collaboratively and co-operatively for an extended period of time. If the e-learning technology is to embrace both formal and informal learning, we must have a better understand of the effect of groups and cohorts. acolla.blogspot.com /2005/03/group-formal-learning-informal.html   (679 words)
