Mutually Orthogonal Latin Squares and Finite Fields
... Before we start this lecture, try solving the following problem: Question. Take a deck of playing cards, and remove the 16 aces, kings, queens, and jacks from the deck. Can you arrange these cards into a 4 × 4 array, so that in each column and row, no two cards share the same suit or same face value ...

The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra
... Wikipedia notes that the concept of a field was used implicitly by Niels Henrik Abel and Evariste Galois in their work on the solvability of polynomial equations with rational coefficients of degree 5 or higher. A field is an algebraic structure with notions of addition and multiplication, which sat ...

Basic Model Theory of Algebraically Closed Fields
... Among the relations there is always - even if implicitely - the symbol “=” for a binary relation which will always stand for equality. We shall also use variables x, y, . . . Example 1.2. The language of rings is Lrings = {0, 1, +, −, ·}, where 0 and 1 are constants, and +, −, · are binary functions ...

Electrostatics and Electric Fields
... A charged object produces an electric field around it. An electric field is a region of space in which a charged object will “feel” an electric force. This means a test charge placed in the field will feel a force. A test charge is a small, positive charge. The test charge is considered so small tha ...

For instance, if g generates G, then so does h. This implies in particular that G and H are in bijective correspondence. So the definition of an isomor ...
