	Rig (algebra)
		In abstract algebra, a rig is an algebraic structure, similar to a ring, but without an analogue of subtraction.
		In particular, a Boolean algebra is a rig under these operations (as well as a Boolean ring under different operations).
		Some mathematicians go so far as to say that rigs are really the more fundamental concept, and specialising to rings should be seen in the same light as specialising to, say, algebras over the complex numbers.

		In computer animation, parts of a 3D model are rigged so that an animator can easily select and move parts of the model (such as an arm or leg) without having to painstakingly select every single vertex in the desired part.

		Rigging (Anglo-Saxon ''wrigan'' or ''wrihan'', to clothe) denotes a ship's apparatus of spars (including both masts and yards), sails and cordage, by which the force of the wind is used to move the hull against the resistance, and with the support, of the water.
		A ship is not rigged until she is provided with all the spars, sails and cordage required to move and control the hull.
		The ''Rig Veda'' ''ऋग्वेद'' (Sanskrit ''ṛc'' 'praise' + ''veda'' 'knowledge') is the earliest of the four Hindu religious scriptures known as the ''Vedas''.

	Science, Medicine, Technology in Ancient India - Crystalinks
		Mathematics - Vedic literature is replete with concepts of zero, the techniques of algebra and algorithm, square root and cube root.
		The success of Indian mathematics was mainly due to the fact that Indians had a clear conception of the abstract number as distinct from the numerical quantity of objects or spatial extension.
		Algebraic theories, as also other mathematical concepts, which were in circulation in ancient India, were collected and further developed by Aryabhatta, an Indian mathematician, who lived in the 5th century, in the city of Patna, then called Pataliputra.

	Algebra Review
		When it comes to flat field soaring though, I have for many years relied solely on the faithful Osprey 100 and so the idea of the Algebra was to have something to cope with windier flat field conditions which would also serve as an alternative to a pure floater in light conditions at the slope.
		As with many 'cottage industry' produced kits, the Algebra is packed in a plain brown cardboard box.
		I still have had no opportunity to fly the Algebra from the flat, so it is too soon to say whether it will meet the original need of providing a competitive thermal soarer in a bit of a blow.

		But whatever the origin of algebra, it is certain that this technique of computation Originated in India and was current around 1500 years back.
		Algebra as we know it today has lost any characteristics that betray it eastern origin save the fact that the tern 'algebra' is a corruption of the term 'Al jabr' which the Arabs gave to Bijaganitam Incidentally the term Bijaganit is still use in India to refer to this subject.

	[math/0601458] Categorified Algebra and Quantum Mechanics
		Examples include the interpretation of N as the Burnside rig of the category of finite sets with product and coproduct, and the interpretation of N[x] as the category of combinatorial species.
		This has interesting applications to quantum mechanics, and in particular the quantum harmonic oscillator, via Joyal's ``species'', a new generalization called ``stuff types'', and operators between these, which can be represented as rudimentary Feynman diagrams for the oscillator.
		In quantum mechanics, we want to represent states in an algebra over the complex numbers, and also want our Feynman diagrams to carry more structure than these ``stuff operators'' can do, and these turn out to be closely related.

	Hermann Grassmann Summary
		Grassmann's conception of n-dimensional vector spaceand multi-linear algebra, laid out in his monumental work Die Lineale Ausdehnungslehre, were ahead of his time but had great impact once they were grasped by late 19th- and early 20th-century mathematicians.
		In addition, his development of what he called "external algebra" was adapted by William Clifford to form what is now the mathematical basis for relativistic quantum mechanics.
		Grassmann then showed that once geometry is put into the algebraic form he advocated, then the number three has no privileged role as the number of spatial dimensions; the number of possible dimensions is in fact unbounded.

	Philosophy of Real Mathematics: May 2006
		Something that might win over more people to higher-dimensional algebra would be the discovery of something as concrete as Bessel functions in their role as matrix elements of representations of important Lie groups.
		For a pithier example from higher-dimensional algebra: "All interesting equations are lies.", i.e., should be seen as projections of isomorphisms, or higher equivalences.
		I shall address this question in the context of a research programme known as 'higher-dimensional algebra', and consider the charge mathematicians may make in return that historians are unable to treat research programmes which run for decades, supported by tens or hundreds of mathematicians from many countries and institutions.

		Consequently, the times of ancient astronomers and mathematicians had to be moved into the Christian era.
		Another ambitious and influential Indologist, Max Mueller, concocted the age of the Rig Veda to be 1200 B.C., with the stipulation it was written by nomadic Aryans (riding on horseback, presumably with a mobile library).
		But in the occidental scholarship, Aryabhatta's year of birth was changed to 476 C.E. with the misreading of his epoch-making Aryabhatteeum.

		a non-commutative algebra naturally engenders a one-parameter group of automorphisms that makes it evolve, that makes it rotate in such a way that the passage from xy to yx corresponds to what evolution yields for the purely imaginary value t = sqrt(-1) of the parameter t of the evolution group.
