    What is the identity element in abstract algebra groups?

    (e-A) must equal something else and not A. Moreover it must equal something such that the union of (A-e)=A with (e-A)=X is A U X=A. I am sure you are aware of such a set =). It can't be undefined or else were breaking the conditions of what it is to be a group. A and e are elements of the group...

I guess I am just going to go to the accepted students assemblies and hopefully one of the schools will just be a lot less attractive than the other. What kind of courses did you enjoy so much as...

    Ok. So I am having the same kind of internal conflicts about college as everyone else in this post. Math has been a passion of mine since as long as I can remember. In 10th grade I took my first physics class and my first calculus class. They were both equally exciting I can do a major in...
