I created an interactive Jupyter notebook exploring the three fundamental algebraic structures that underpin modern mathematics.7879**What are these structures?**8081- **Groups (G, *)** - A set with one operation satisfying: closure, associativity, identity element, and inverses. Example: integers mod n under addition (Zn)8283- **Rings (R, +, x)** - Two operations where (R, +) is an abelian group, multiplication is associative, and distribution holds. Example: integers Z8485- **Fields (F, +, x)** - A ring where every nonzero element has a multiplicative inverse. Example: integers mod p for prime p (Fp)8687**What I implemented:**88891. `CyclicGroup` class - computes Cayley tables, verifies all four group axioms programmatically902. `FiniteField` class - uses Fermat's little theorem (a^(-1) = a^(p-2) mod p) for multiplicative inverses913. `PolynomialRing` class - arithmetic over finite fields924. `SymmetricGroup` class - permutation composition, parity, and alternating groups9394**Cool discoveries:**9596- Cayley tables are always Latin squares - each element appears exactly once per row/column. This is a visual proof that groups have unique solutions!97- Verified Lagrange's theorem: subgroup orders always divide group order98- Group homomorphism from Z6 to Z2 has kernel {0, 2, 4}99100The visualization shows Cayley tables for Z5, Z6, and both operations in F5. The patterns are hypnotic!101102**View the full interactive notebook here:**103https://cocalc.com/github/Ok-landscape/computational-pipeline/blob/main/notebooks/published/algebraic_structures.ipynb104105Happy to answer questions about the math or implementation!106107--------------------------------------------------------------------------------108109### Facebook (< 500 chars)110--------------------------------------------------------------------------------111Just finished a deep dive into the foundations of abstract algebra!112113Groups, rings, and fields are the building blocks that mathematicians use to study everything from cryptography to physics.114115I built Python classes to explore these structures and created colorful visualizations of their "Cayley tables" - grids that show every possible operation result.116117The patterns that emerge are beautiful - math really is an art!118119Check out the interactive notebook:120https://cocalc.com/github/Ok-landscape/computational-pipeline/blob/main/notebooks/published/algebraic_structures.ipynb121122--------------------------------------------------------------------------------123124### LinkedIn (< 1000 chars)125--------------------------------------------------------------------------------126Exploring Abstract Algebra Through Computational Methods127128I recently completed a computational exploration of fundamental algebraic structures - groups, rings, and fields - the mathematical foundations underlying cryptography, coding theory, and modern physics.129130Key implementations:131- Cyclic group Zn with automated axiom verification (closure, associativity, identity, inverse)132- Finite field Fp using Fermat's Little Theorem for efficient inverse computation133- Polynomial ring arithmetic over finite fields134- Symmetric group Sn with permutation parity analysis135136Technical highlights:137- Verified group homomorphisms programmatically and computed kernels138- Demonstrated Lagrange's theorem across subgroup lattices139- Generated Cayley table visualizations revealing Latin square structure140141This project reinforces how computational tools can make abstract mathematical concepts concrete and verifiable.
