		For example, for multiplication, the identity element is 1, because a * 1 = a For addition, the identity element is 0, because a + 0 = a For matrix multiplication, the identity element is _ _
		The equation must be true for all elements b in the given set for e to be declared the identity element of the set.
		If the binary operation is addition, then the identity is zero since 0 + a = a + 0 = a However if the binary operation is multiplication, then the identity is 1 since: 1 * a = a * 1 = a I hope the idea is clear.

	Monoid (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		In abstract algebra, a branch of mathematics, a monoid is an algebraic structure with a single, associative binary operation and an identity element.
		Identity element: there exists an element e in M, such that for all a in M, ae = ea = a.
		For instance, it is perfectly possible to have a monoid in which exist two elements a and b and such that ab = a holds even though b is not the identity* element.

	Modern Algebra: abstract groups
		Each element of a transformation group is a transformation on a particular set, that is, a function on the set to itself.
		Since the elements of an abstract group don't have to actually be transformations, and the operation doesn't have to actually be composition, we'll call it something else.
		The identity element is denoted 0 rather than 1, and inverses are denoted as negations (–x) rather than with exponents of –1.

		Date: 02/09/2002 at 15:42:32 From: Doctor Paul Subject: Re: Modern algebra Hi Bill, As a consequence of Lagrange's Theorem, a random element of any group (not just S_n) raised to the order of the group is the identity element.
		Consider the following element of S_5: [1 2 3 4 5] [3 4 1 5 2] In shorter notation, this permuation is: s = (1 3)(2 4 5) Here we have a perfectly legitimate element of S_5 written as a product of a two cycle and a three cycle.
		Notice that raising to the 4th power fixes each of the elements of (2 6 4 5) since it is a 4-cycle and raising to the 4th power fixes all of the elements of (1 3) since its elements will be fixed by any even power.

	ABSTRACT ALGEBRA: OnLine Study Guide, Section 3.1
		Loosely, a group is a set on which it is possible to define a binary operation that is associative, has an identity element, and has inverses for each of its elements.
		This still works for the operation in a group, since if x and y are elements of a group G, and x = y, then a ·: x = a · y, for any element a in G. This is a part of the guarantee that comes with the definition of a binary operation.
		The previous exercise shows that in the definition of a group it is sufficient to require the existence of a left identity element and the existence of left inverses.

		An elliptic curve is among other things a group, which means it has a distinguished element (the identity element).
		This means: (1) It's not an EC if it's empty, and (2) It's not _an_ EC but rather an isomorphism class of ECs until you pick an element to serve as the identity.
		(To a topologist this is the distinction between a space and a pointed space.) The standard cubics z^2=w^3+Aw+B all have a "point at infinity" which is universally chosen as the identity element of the group.

		Arginyl-tRNA synthetase (ArgRS) recognizes two major identity elements of tRNA(Arg): A20, located at the outside corner of the L-shaped tRNA, and C35, the second letter of the anticodon.
		The structure of the T. thermophilus ArgRS was found to be similar to that of the previously reported S. cerevisiae ArgRS, except for short insertions and a concomitant conformational change in the N-terminal domain.
