Characteristic (algebra)

In mathematics, the characteristic of a ring R, often denoted char(R), is defined to be the smallest number of times one must use the ring's multiplicative identity (1) in a sum to get the additive identity (0). If this sum never reaches the additive identity the ring is said to have characteristic zero. That is, char(R) is the smallest positive number n such that: if such a number n exists, and 0 otherwise. (Wikipedia).

What does the fundamental theorem of algebra tell us about a polynomial

👉 Learn about zeros and multiplicity. The zeroes of a polynomial expression are the values of x for which the graph of the function crosses the x-axis. They are the values of the variable for which the polynomial equals 0. The multiplicity of a zero of a polynomial expression is the number

What are the important things to know about the graph of a function

👉 Learn about the characteristics of a function. Given a function, we can determine the characteristics of the function's graph. We can determine the end behavior of the graph of the function (rises or falls left and rises or falls right). We can determine the number of zeros of the functi

Derivation of the Characteristic Equation | Linear Algebra -- Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors

In this video, we look at the intuition behind eigenvalues and eigenvectors. In particular, we offer a derivation of the characteristic equation and relate to this to the geometric meaning behind eigenvalues and eigenvectors. We derive the characteristic equation for calculating eigenvalue

Lie groups: Positive characteristic is weird

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on Lie groups. We give several examples to show that, over fields of positive characteristic, Lie algebras can behave strangely, and have a weaker connection to Lie groups. In particular the Lie algebra does not generate the ring of all in
