	List of basic discrete mathematics topics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Discrete mathematics, also called finite mathematics, is the study of mathematical structures that are fundamentally discrete, in the sense of not supporting or requiring the notion of continuity.
		Most, if not all, of the objects studied in finite mathematics are countable sets, such as integers, finite graphs, and formal languages.
		Linear algebra - a study of related linear equations.

		The peak set of a permutation $\sigma$ is the set $\{i:\sigma(i–1)
		A polytope P is the convex hull of a finite set of points in R^d, and its boundary is a collection of lower-dimensional polytopes known as the faces of P.
		Then the set of splines (of all degrees) on \hat\Delta is a graded module C^r(\hat\Delta) over the polynomial ring R in d+1 variables, and the dimension of C^r_k(\Delta) is the dimension of C^r(\hat\Delta) in degree exactly k.

		Algebra also gives us an opportunity to study many of the mathematical systems that are important to us in all areas of mathematics - integers, rationals, modular arithmetic, matrices, etc.
		Linear algebra has much more in the way of calculation in it; in abstract algebra the emphasis is more on proving theorems.
		Although abstract algebra has important applications (to error-detecting and error-correcting codes in computer science, and to cryptography or the field of secret codes), the emphasis in this subject is on studying the abstract structures.

		The proofs of the Fundamental Theorem of Galois Theory, Galois' proof of solvability, the Principal Ideal Theorem, and a stronger form of Sylow's theorem are particularly elegant, along with the chapter on solvable and nilpotent groups.
		It corresponds to topics learned in basic algebra, but can be used to supplement a number of courses, as a quick reference, including statistics, life sciences and technical mathematics.
		This set of activities facilitates discovery learning, collaborative learning, use of graphing technology, connections with other areas of mathematics and other disciplines, oral and written communication, real data collection, and active learning.

	The Mathematics of Boolean Algebra (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Boolean algebra is the algebra of two-valued logic with only sentential connectives, or equivalently of algebras of sets under union and complementation.
		The cellularity c(A) of a BA is the supremum of the cardinalities of sets of pairwise disjoint elements of A.
		An important fact concerning cellularity is the Erdos-Tarski theorem: if the cellularity of a BA is a singular cardinal, then there actually is a set of disjoint elements of that size; for cellularity regular limit (inaccessible), there are counterexamples.

	Algebra
		Algebra is usually presented at three levels: elementary or high school, intermediate or college, and advanced or higher algebra.
		Algebra and geometry were more advanced subjects, involving theory as well as practical matters, and were taught in high school and college.
		Algebraic results may be tested by restricting them to cases where the outcome is simple and known.

		Given by a few simple axioms, there are many kinds of examples (of groups) coming from all parts of mathematics.
		Rings are the analogs of the integers, sets with two operations, addition and multiplication, satisfying associative and distributive laws.
		It can be used to prove that there is no algebraic formula for the solutions of polynomials of fifth degree or higher involving taking roots and using the basic arithmetical operations.

		The elements of the algebra of sets are certain equations that are always true in the algebra, regardless of which universal set and its subsets are represented.
		It is these statements that are to be proved in the algebra of sets, and we rely on the properties of sets to prove them.
		A primary theorem of the algebra of sets lists the basic properties of set operators, known as union and intersection, as we see here.

	Math 640 -- Linear Algebra with Applications
		Linear Algebra is the study of linear equations in several variables and related topics.
		Though this simple description makes the subject sound elementary, it actually is quite involved since typical applications require the solution of many equations with many unknowns (often numbering in the thousands).
		Vector Spaces and subspaces (including spanning sets, linear independence and basis); a vector space can be thought of as the set spanned by all the variables used in a set of linear equations.

	Lee Lady: A Graduate Course in Algebra
		Theorems which state remarkable things about fairly basic concepts, and theorems whose proof involves the use of a number of quite diverse results.
		Unfortunately, I am simply unable to prove one of the best theorems of this nature: namely, that representations in characteristic zero of a finite group are completely determined by their characters, and that this leads to a complete classification of all the representations.
		I illustrate this with the theorem showing that in a finite-dimensional algebras, left zero-divisors, right zero-divisors, left invertible elements, and right-invertible elements all coincide, and then give examples to show that these concepts do not all coincide for rings in general.

	Ons Algebra
		This project is inspired by the belief that the Clifford Algebras, and their quaternionic and octonionic subalgebras, are archetypal structures of fundamental importance in many areas, including physics, psychology and systems theory.
		Clifford algebra, as normally studied, is a continuous construction, involving either the reals or the complex numbers as a scalar field.
		In an algebra with four basis elements, for example, the element e(1) is represented 1000; the element e(3) is represented 0010; the element e(2) e(3) is represented 0110; the element e(1)e(2)e(3)e(4) is represented 1111.

		A basis in calculus, linear algebra, and perhaps a first course in the algebra of rings is required to truly appreciate the text.
		The general style of the book is first to state, and intuitively describe the theorem in question, carefully making sure to motivate it well, then to give illuminating (and non-trivial) examples illustrating the power of the result in question, before finally giving a completely rigorous proof.
		Many proofs are only sketched, and occasionally theorems are stated after their proofs, necessitating a rereading of the preceding paragraphs in order to grasp the points of the proof.

	Linear Algebra.
		Linear algebra is a branch of algebra which deals with linear vector spaces, linear operators as well as linear, bilinear and quadratic functions.
		The results of linear algebra have found application in such diverse fields as optics, quantum mechanics, display addressing, electric circuits, cryptography, computer graphics, economics, linear programming, solution of systems of differential equations, etc. The manipulation of matrices and determinants plays a central role in all applications of linear algebra.
		The authors have set down their lecture notes on linear algebra in a systematic way, leading to a logical development of the subject.

		It is a simple (n-1)-dimensional convex polytope whose 1-skeleton is given by the Tamari lattice on the set of triangulations of an (n+2)-gon.
		The linear span P_n of the sums of all permutations in S_n with a given peak set is a sub-algebra of the symmetric group algebra, due to Nyman; and the direct sum P of all P_n is a Hopf sub-algebra of the Solomon descent algebra D, dual to the Stembridge algebra of peak functions.
		The study of the multiplicative structure of this algebra has received a lot of attention in the past decade due to the fact that it appears in an increasing number of mathematical contexts such as quantum cohomology, representations of quantum groups and Hecke algebras, knot invariants, vertex operator algebras, and others.

		This file is now built in the course of construction of the omnibus theory, though its notation is incompatible, because some theorems in algebra2 are proved by theorem export from this theory.
		Also, some general-purpose tactics of an abstract algebraic character; the most abstract of these have now been moved to structural.wat (they are also used by sequent.wat).
		As of October 1999, this file incorporates the old file mwu_more_subtraction.wat (with more theorems by Minglong Wu about subtraction and division) and is updated to reflect changes in notation for integer division.
