Abelian group

In mathematics, an abelian group, also called a commutative group, is a group in which the result of applying the group operation to two group elements does not depend on the order in which they are written.

Absorbing element

In mathematics, an absorbing element (or annihilating element) is a special type of element of a set with respect to a binary operation on that set.

Addition

Addition (usually signified by the plus symbol) is one of the four basic operations of arithmetic, the other three being subtraction, multiplication and division.

Algebraic structure

In mathematics, an algebraic structure consists of a nonempty set A (called the underlying set, carrier set or domain), a collection of operations on A (typically binary operations such as addition and multiplication), and a finite set of identities, known as axioms, that these operations must satisfy.

Greatest element and least element

In mathematics, especially in order theory, the greatest element of a subset S of a partially ordered set (poset) is an element of S that is greater than every other element of S. The term least element is defined dually, that is, it is an element of S that is smaller than every other element of S.

Integer

An integer is the number zero (0), a positive natural number (1, 2, 3,...), or the negation of a positive natural number (−1, −2, −3,...). The negations or additive inverses of the positive natural numbers are referred to as negative integers.

Linear map

In mathematics, and more specifically in linear algebra, a linear map (also called a linear mapping, linear transformation, vector space homomorphism, or in some contexts linear function) is a mapping V \to W between two vector spaces that preserves the operations of vector addition and scalar multiplication.

Mathematics

Mathematics is a field of study that discovers and organizes abstract objects, methods, theories and theorems that are developed and proved for the needs of empirical sciences and mathematics itself.

Matrix (mathematics)

In mathematics, a matrix (matrices) is a rectangular array or table of numbers, symbols, or expressions, with elements or entries arranged in rows and columns, which is used to represent a mathematical object or property of such an object.

Partially ordered set

In mathematics, especially order theory, a partial order on a set is an arrangement such that, for certain pairs of elements, one precedes the other.

Pointwise

In mathematics, the qualifier pointwise is used to indicate that a certain property is defined by considering each value f(x) of some function f. An important class of pointwise concepts are the pointwise operations, that is, operations defined on functions by applying the operations to function values separately for each point in the domain of definition.

Principal ideal

In mathematics, specifically ring theory, a principal ideal is an ideal I in a ring R that is generated by a single element a of R through multiplication by every element of R. The term also has another, similar meaning in order theory, where it refers to an (order) ideal in a poset P generated by a single element x \in P, which is to say the set of all elements less than or equal to x in P.

In mathematics, rings are algebraic structures that generalize fields: multiplication need not be commutative and multiplicative inverses need not exist.

In mathematics, the tensor product V \otimes W of two vector spaces and (over the same field) is a vector space to which is associated a bilinear map V\times W \rightarrow V\otimes W that maps a pair (v,w),\ v\in V, w\in W to an element of V \otimes W denoted.

Union (set theory)

In set theory, the union (denoted by ∪) of a collection of sets is the set of all elements in the collection.

In abstract algebra, an element of a ring is called a left zero divisor if there exists a nonzero in such that, or equivalently if the map from to that sends to is not injective. Zero element and zero divisor are 0 (number).
