11Algebraic K-theory — In mathematics, algebraic K theory is an important part of homological algebra concerned with defining and applying a sequence Kn(R) of functors from rings to abelian groups, for all integers n. For historical reasons, the lower K groups K0 and… …
12Field (mathematics) — This article is about fields in algebra. For fields in geometry, see Vector field. For other uses, see Field (disambiguation). In abstract algebra, a field is a commutative ring whose nonzero elements form a group under multiplication. As such it …
13Number theory — A Lehmer sieve an analog computer once used for finding primes and solving simple diophantine equations. Number theory is a branch of pure mathematics devoted primarily to the study of the integers. Number theorists study prime numbers (the… …
14Field extension — In abstract algebra, field extensions are the main object of study in field theory. The general idea is to start with a base field and construct in some manner a larger field which contains the base field and satisfies additional properties. For… …
15Algebraic curve — In algebraic geometry, an algebraic curve is an algebraic variety of dimension one. The theory of these curves in general was quite fully developed in the nineteenth century, after many particular examples had been considered, starting with… …
16Algebraic geometry — This Togliatti surface is an algebraic surface of degree five. Algebraic geometry is a branch of mathematics which combines techniques of abstract algebra, especially commutative algebra, with the language and the problems of geometry. It… …
17Algebraic closure — In mathematics, particularly abstract algebra, an algebraic closure of a field K is an algebraic extension of K that is algebraically closed. It is one of many closures in mathematics.Using Zorn s lemma, it can be shown that every field has an… …
18Algebraic integer — This article deals with the ring of complex numbers integral over Z. For the general notion of algebraic integer, see Integrality .In number theory, an algebraic integer is a complex number which is a root of some monic polynomial (leading… …
19Algebraic element — In mathematics, the roots of polynomials are in abstract algebra called algebraic elements. They can be created in a larger structure ( adjoined ), not simply found to exist in a given one. More precisely, if L is a field extension of K then an… …
20Algebraic torus — In mathematics, an algebraic torus is a type of commutative affine algebraic group. These groups were named by analogy with the theory of tori in Lie group theory (see maximal torus). The theory of tori is in some sense opposite to that of… …
