More concepts to explore

  • Bijections

    A bijection is both injective and surjective and has a two-sided inverse.

  • Groups

    A group has an associative operation, an identity and an inverse for every element.

  • Rings

    A ring supports addition and multiplication linked by distributive laws.

  • Sylow theorems

    For finite groups, Sylow theorems constrain existence, conjugacy and number of maximal prime-power subgroups.

  • Cosets and Lagrange's theorem

    Cosets partition a finite group, so a subgroup's order divides the group's order.
