Use the UPC scheme to determine the check digit for the number $07312400508$.

here is the example from the book

ok so going with dot product with 07312400508
\begin{align*}\displaystyle
&\quad (0731 2 4 0 0 5 0 8)\cdot(3,1,3,1,3,1,3,1,3)\\
&= 0\cdot3+7\cdot1
+3\cdot3+1\cdot1
+2\cdot3+4\cdot1
+0\cdot3+0\cdot1
+5\cdot3+0\cdot1
+8\cdot3 \\
&=7+9+1+6+4+15+24\\
&=66\\
66mod10&=6
\end{align*}

so far?? but the number only has 11 digits

66\pmod{10}&=6

That is correct so far. You now have to add a twelfth digit so as to make the checksum zero$\pmod{10}$.

What would be the 12th digit?

What do you have to add to 66 to get a multiple of 10?
 

Thread '##(A/\mathfrak{a})_{\mathfrak{p}/\mathfrak{a}}## and its isomorphism?'

I asked online questions about Proposition 2.1.1: The answer I got is the following: I have some questions about the answer I got. When the person answering says: ##1.## Is the map ##\mathfrak{q}\mapsto \mathfrak{q} A _\mathfrak{p}## from ##A\setminus \mathfrak{p}\to A_\mathfrak{p}##? But I don't understand what the author meant for the rest of the sentence in mathematical notation: ##2.## In the next statement where the author says: How is ##A\to...

Thread 'Questions about non existence of GCDs vs (coimages, cokernels)'

The following are taken from the two sources, 1) from this online page and the book An Introduction to Module Theory by: Ibrahim Assem, Flavio U. Coelho. In the Abelian Categories chapter in the module theory text on page 157, right after presenting IV.2.21 Definition, the authors states "Image and coimage may or may not exist, but if they do, then they are unique up to isomorphism (because so are kernels and cokernels). Also in the reference url page above, the authors present two...

Thread 'Decomposition into irreps of compact Lie group'

When decomposing a representation ##\rho## of a finite group ##G## into irreducible representations, we can find the number of times the representation contains a particular irrep ##\rho_0## through the character inner product $$ \langle \chi, \chi_0\rangle = \frac{1}{|G|} \sum_{g\in G} \chi(g) \chi_0(g)^*$$ where ##\chi## and ##\chi_0## are the characters of ##\rho## and ##\rho_0##, respectively. Since all group elements in the same conjugacy class have the same characters, this may be...
