Principal ideal domains
Every ideal in a principal ideal domain is generated by one element.
Quotient rings
Reducing ring elements modulo an ideal gives a well-defined quotient ring.
Binary operations
A binary operation combines two elements into one in a specified set.
Cosets and Lagrange's theorem
Cosets partition a finite group, so a subgroup's order divides the group's order.
Cyclic groups
A cyclic group is generated by repeated powers of a single element.
