Group {Algebra} (B.Sc. Mathematics NEP Notes)

Group Semi group A semigroup is an algebraic structure consisting of a non-empty set equipped with a binary operation (an operation that takes two elements from the set and produces another element in the set) that is associative. In other words, for all elements a, b, and c in the set, the operation satisfies the associative property: (a * b) * c = a * (b * c) In a semigroup, there is no requirement for an identity element or inverses, as is the case in groups. Quasi group Let G be any non-empty set and * is a binary operation than the structure is called Groupoid or quasi group if the binary operation in the set G satisfy the commutative property. a*b = b*a A groupoid with identity element is called Loop. Monoid A monoid is an algebraic structure that consists of a non-empty set, a binary operation A monoid is defined by the following Properties: Associativity:  The binary operation is associative, meaning that for all elements a, b, and c in the set M, the...

Set, relation and function {Algebra} (B.Sc. Mathematics NEP Notes)

Sets, Relation and Functions Sets   A  set  is a well-defined collection of distinct objects or elements. These objects  can be anything: numbers, letters, symbols, or even other sets. The key characteristics of a set are: Distinct Elements: Each element in a set is unique, meaning that no two elements in the set are the same. If an element appears more than once, it is still counted only once in the set. Well-Defined: A set must have clear and unambiguous criteria for determining whether an element belongs to it or not. This means you should be able to determine whether any given object is a member of the set or not without any ambiguity. Unordered: Sets are generally considered unordered collections, which means that the elements in a set do not have a specific order. The order in which you list the elements of a set does not affect the set itself. Sets are typically represented using curly braces {} and a list of their elements. For example , here is a set cont...
