Generality of algebra

In the history of mathematics, the generality of algebra was a phrase used by Augustin-Louis Cauchy to describe a method of argument that was used in the 18th century by mathematicians such as Leonhard Euler and Joseph-Louis Lagrange, particularly in manipulating infinite series. According to Koetsier, the generality of algebra principle assumed, roughly, that the algebraic rules that hold for a certain class of expressions can be extended to hold more generally on a larger class of objects, even if the rules are no longer obviously valid. As a consequence, 18th century mathematicians believed that they could derive meaningful results by applying the usual rules of algebra and calculus that hold for finite expansions even when manipulating infinite expansions. In works such as Cours d'Analyse, Cauchy rejected the use of "generality of algebra" methods and sought a more rigorous foundation for mathematical analysis. (Wikipedia).

Algebra for Beginners | Basics of Algebra

#Algebra is one of the broad parts of mathematics, together with number theory, geometry and analysis. In its most general form, algebra is the study of mathematical symbols and the rules for manipulating these symbols; it is a unifying thread of almost all of mathematics. Table of Conten

AlgTopReview: An informal introduction to abstract algebra

This is a review lecture on some aspects of abstract algebra useful for algebraic topology. It provides some background on fields, rings and vector spaces for those of you who have not studied these objects before, and perhaps gives an overview for those of you who have. Our treatment is

Definition of a group Lesson 24

In this video we take our first look at the definition of a group. It is basically a set of elements and the operation defined on them. If this set of elements and the operation defined on them obey the properties of closure and associativity, and if one of the elements is the identity el

What is the Fundamental theorem of Algebra, really? | Abstract Algebra Math Foundations 217

Here we give restatements of the Fundamental theorems of Algebra (I) and (II) that we critiqued in our last video, so that they are now at least meaningful and correct statements, at least to the best of our knowledge. The key is to abstain from any prior assumptions about our understandin

Normalizer of a set in a group

The normalizer of a set in a group is the bigger cousin of the centralizer. In fact, the centralizer is a subset of the normalizer. We relax the conditions a bit and let the conjugation of an element result in any arbitrary element in the subset. Not making any sense? Just watch the vi

Abstract: The theory of cluster algebras has proved useful in proving theorems about the characters of graded tensor products or Demazure modules, via the Q-system. Upon quantization, the algebra associated with this system is shown to be related to a quantum affine algebra. Graded charact
