Boolean

Description:

This symbol represents the set of Booleans. That is the truth values, true and false.

Commented Mathematical property (CMP):
for all b in the booleans | (there exists an nb in the booleans | nb not= b implies nb = not b)
Formal Mathematical property (FMP):
  
b . b Boolean nb . nb Boolean nb b nb = ¬ b

A

Description:

This symbol represents the set of algebraic numbers.

Commented Mathematical property (CMP):
The algebraic numbers are a proper subset of the reals
Formal Mathematical property (FMP):
  
A R
Commented Mathematical property (CMP):

[Next: Zm] [Previous: Boolean] [Top]

Zm

Description:

This symbol represents the set of integers modulo m, where m is not necessarily a prime. It takes one argument, the integer m.

Commented Mathematical property (CMP):
for all x in the integers modulo m | there exists an n such that n is an integer and n <= m and x^n = x
Formal Mathematical property (FMP):
  
x . x Z m n . n Z n m x n = x
Example:
The integers mod 12:
  
Z 12
Example:
The integers mod m:
  
Z m
Example:
4*5=8 in Z mod 12
  
4 5 = 8

GFp

Description:

This symbol represents the finite field of integers modulo p, where p is a prime.

Commented Mathematical property (CMP):
x^p = x mod p
Formal Mathematical property (FMP):
  
x p = x

[Next: GFpn] [Previous: Zm] [Top]

GFpn

Description:

This symbol represents the finite field with p^n elements, where p is a prime.

Example:
  
GF p = GF p 1

[Next: QuotientField] [Previous: GFp] [Top]

QuotientField

Description:

This symbol represents the quotient field of any integral domain.

Example:
The rationals equals QuotientField(Integers)
  
Q = QuotientField ( Z )
Commented Mathematical property (CMP):
R is a field iff QuotientField(R)=R
Formal Mathematical property (FMP):
  
R structure ( Field ) ( QuotientField ( R ) = R )

[Next: AlgebraicExtension] [Previous: GFpn] [Top]

AlgebraicExtension

Description:

This symbol represents an algebraic extension of any integral domain.

Example:
The complex numbers are the extension of the reals by a root of x^2+1
  
C = AlgebraicExtension ( R , poly_u_rep ( x , term ( 2 , 1 ) , term ( 0 , 1 ) ) )

[Next: H] [Previous: QuotientField] [Top]

H

Description:

This symbol represents the set of quaternions.

Commented Mathematical property (CMP):
1 is a quaternion and there exists i,j,k s.t. i,j,k are quaternions and i^2 = j^2 = k^2 = ijk = -1 with abs(i) not = abs(j) not = abs(k) not = 1 implies for all q, q a quaternion implies there exists r_0, r_1, r_2, r_3 reals s.t. q = r_0 + r_1*i + r_2*j + r_3*k
Formal Mathematical property (FMP):
  
1 H i , j , k . i H j H k H i 2 = - 1 j 2 = - 1 k 2 = - 1 i j k = - 1 | i | 1 | j | 1 | k | 1 q . q H r 0 , r 1 , r 2 , r 3 . r 0 R r 1 R r 2 R r 3 R q = r 0 + r 1 i + r 2 j + r 3 k
