Abstract algebra | Binary operations | Algebra
In mathematics, the concept of an inverse element generalises the concepts of opposite (−x) and reciprocal (1/x) of numbers. Given an operation denoted here ∗, and an identity element denoted e, if x ∗ y = e, one says that x is a left inverse of y, and that y is a right inverse of x. (An identity element is an element such that x * e = x and e * y = y for all x and y for which the left-hand sides are defined.) When the operation ∗ is associative, if an element x has both a left inverse and a right inverse, then these two inverses are equal and unique; they are called the inverse element or simply the inverse. Often an adjective is added for specifying the operation, such as in additive inverse, multiplicative inverse, and functional inverse. In this case (associative operation), an invertible element is an element that has an inverse. Inverses are commonly used in groups—where every element is invertible, and rings—where invertible elements are also called units. They are also commonly used for operations that are not defined for all possible operands, such as inverse matrices and inverse functions. This has been generalized to category theory, where, by definition, an isomorphism is an invertible morphism. The word 'inverse' is derived from Latin: inversus that means 'turned upside down', 'overturned'. This may take its origin from the case of fractions, where the (multiplicative) inverse is obtained by exchanging the numerator and the denominator (the inverse of is ).(In this article, the operations are associative and have identity elements, except when otherwise stated and in section .) (Wikipedia).
A set might contain many inverse elements under some binary operation. To have such an element, this set must also contain an identity element under the binary operation in question. An element is an inverse element of another element in a set if performing the binary operation between t

A group in abstract algebra is a relatively simple structure — but in this video we see how that simple structure enables us to do a lot of what we understand as basic algebra, such as solving equations via cancellation, and having unique identity and inverses.

A Natural Proof of the First Isomorphism Theorem (Group Theory)
The first isomorphism theorem is one of the most important theorems in group theory, but the standard proof may seem artificial, like every step of the proof is set up knowing that we're trying to create an isomorphism. In this video, we show an alternate proof with no such tricks using th

We introduce subgroups, the definition of subgroup, examples and non-examples of subgroups, and we prove that subgroups are groups. We also do an example proving a subset is a subgroup. If G is a group and H is a nonempty subset of G, we say H is a subgroup of G if H is closed with respect

A Simple Group Element Inverse Proof | Abstract Algebra
We prove a simple result about inverse elements in groups while gunshots rattle off in the distance of the forest. If a and b are elements of a group G with identity e such that ab = e, then we can conclude that a=b^-1 and b=a^-1. So, if two elements combine to form the identity, we can co
