Mathematical notation

Iverson bracket

In mathematics, the Iverson bracket, named after Kenneth E. Iverson, is a notation that generalises the Kronecker delta, which is the Iverson bracket of the statement x = y. It maps any statement to a function of the free variables in that statement. This function is defined to take the value 1 for the values of the variables for which the statement is true, and takes the value 0 otherwise. It is generally denoted by putting the statement inside square brackets: In other words, the Iverson bracket of a statement is the indicator function of the set of values for which the statement is true. The Iverson bracket allows using capital-sigma notation without summation index. That is, for any property of the integer , By convention, does not need to be defined for the values of k for which the Iverson bracket equals 0; that is, a summand must evaluate to 0 regardless of whether is defined.Likewise for products: The notation was originally introduced by Kenneth E. Iverson in his programming language APL, though restricted to single relational operators enclosed in parentheses, while the generalisation to arbitrary statements, notational restriction to square brackets, and applications to summation, was advocated by Donald Knuth to avoid ambiguity in parenthesized logical expressions.

What is a Module? (Abstract Algebra)

A module is a generalization of a vector space. You can think of it as a group of vectors with scalars from a ring instead of a field. In this lesson, we introduce the module, give a variety of examples, and talk about the ways in which modules and vector spaces are different from one an

Identity matrices

An identity matrix under matrix multiplication serves a similar role to the number 1, when it comes to integer multiplication, i.e. any number times 1, remains that number. You can learn more about Mathematica on my Udemy course at https://www.udemy.com/mathematica/ PS! Wait until Udemy

Center of a group in abstract algebra

After the previous video where we saw that two of the elements in the dihedral group in six elements commute with all the elements in the group, we finally get to define the center of a group. The center of a group is a subgroup and in this video we also go through the proof to show this.
