  1. commutative group

    In mathematics, an abelian group, also called a commutative group, is a group in which the result of applying the group operation to two group elements does not depend on the order in which they are written. That is, the group operation is commutative. With addition as an operation, the integers and the real numbers form abelian groups, and the concept of an abelian group may be viewed as a generalization of these examples. Abelian groups are named after early 19th century mathematician Niels Henrik Abel.The concept of an abelian group underlies many fundamental algebraic structures, such as fields, rings, vector spaces, and algebras. The theory of abelian groups is generally simpler than that of their non-abelian counterparts, and finite abelian groups are very well understood and fully classified.

  1. commutative group

    A commutative group, also known as an abelian group, is a set equipped with an operation satisfying four fundamental conditions: 1. Closure: If 'a' and 'b' are in the group, then 'a * b' is also in the group. 2. Associativity: For all 'a', 'b', and 'c' in the group, (a * b) * c equals a * (b * c). 3. Existence of identity element: There is an element 'e' in the group such that for every element 'a' in the group, the equations 'e * a' and 'a * e' both return 'a'. 4. Existence of inverse element: For each element 'a' in the group, there exists an element 'b' in the group such that 'a * b' and 'b * a' both equal the identity element 'e'. In addition to these, a commutative or abelian group also follows the Commutative Law, which states that the result of performing the operation on any two elements in the set does not depend on their order, i.e. 'a * b' equals 'b * a'. An example of an abelian group is the set of integers with the operation being addition, because it satisfies all these properties.
