Mathematical structure

In mathematics, a structure is a set endowed with some additional features on the set (e.g. an operation, relation, metric, or topology). Often, the additional features are attached or related to the set, so as to provide it with some additional meaning or significance. A partial list of possible structures are measures, algebraic structures (groups, fields, etc.), topologies, metric structures (geometries), orders, events, equivalence relations, differential structures, and categories. Sometimes, a set is endowed with more than one feature simultaneously, which allows mathematicians to study the interaction between the different structures more richly. For example, an ordering imposes a rigid form, shape, or topology on the set, and if a set has both a topology feature and a group feature, such that these two features are related in a certain way, then the structure becomes a topological group. Mappings between sets which preserve structures (i.e., structures in the domain are mapped to equivalent structures in the codomain) are of special interest in many fields of mathematics. Examples are homomorphisms, which preserve algebraic structures; homeomorphisms, which preserve topological structures; and diffeomorphisms, which preserve differential structures. (Wikipedia).

Algebraic Structures: Groups, Rings, and Fields

This video covers the definitions for some basic algebraic structures, including groups and rings. I give examples of each and discuss how to verify the properties for each type of structure.

Sets and other data structures | Data Structures in Mathematics Math Foundations 151

In mathematics we often want to organize objects. Sets are not the only way of doing this: there are other data types that are also useful and that can be considered together with set theory. In particular when we group objects together, there are two fundamental questions that naturally a

Graph Data Structure 1. Terminology and Representation (algorithms)

This is the first in a series of videos about the graph data structure. It mentions the applications of graphs, defines various terminology associated with graphs, and describes how a graph can be represented programmatically by means of adjacency lists or an adjacency matrix.

Arithmetical expressions as natural numbers | Data structures in Mathematics Math Foundations 194

Primitive natural numbers and Hindu Arabic numerals can be pinned down very concretely and precisely. But what about numbers expressed via more elaborate arithmetical expressions, perhaps involving towers of exponents, or hyperoperations? Is there a consistent and logical proper way of set

Max Tegmark - Is Mathematics Eternal?

Mathematics is like nothing else. The truths of math seem to be unrelated to anything else—independent of human beings, independent of the universe. The sum of 2 + 3 = 5 cannot be untrue; this means that 2 + 3 = 5 would be true even if there were never any human beings, even if there were
