The Primitive Element Situation is Crazy
Просмотров 24 тыс.Месяц назад
The Primitive Element Theorem was a big advancement in field theory. But what does it even mean? I'll explain what a field is, some interesting math history for context, and how to use Sage to easily do some BRUTAL algebra.
How You Should Think About Infinite Cartesian Products

I regularly teach a topology class online, and often it's the first time my students encounter infinite Cartesian products of sets. This video aims to help you understand what elements of such products look like. Thank you for supporting my channel!
Kepler's Second Law as Understood by a Mathematician
Просмотров 4246 месяцев назад
Kepler's 2nd Law is one of my favorite applications of calculus and vectors. I only took one physics class during my school career, so my physical intuition isn't always great. But this proof relies mostly on math, and showcases how mathematics is a language to describe all that's around us (some physics stuff, anyway). I found the proof that I cover here in Krantz's textbook "Differential Equa...
The Subgroup Tests in Under 3 Minutes! Fast Abstract Algebra Help
Просмотров 1117 месяцев назад
How do you show a subset of a group is a subgroup? Do you have to check all the group axioms? We'll talk about two ways to test if a subset of a group is a subgroup, and demonstrate how to do the tests with two examples. Hopefully this makes you feel better prepared to solve these kinds of group theory problems!

Partial Sum Formulas and Asymptotic Analysis
Просмотров 2498 месяцев назад
Finding a summation formula to add the first n natural numbers is easy. Finding a summation formula to add the first n reciprocals is impossible, literally. At least in terms of elementary functions. This video dives into asymptotic analysis to prove there's no "nice" formula for the harmonic numbers. It's a great application of freshman calculus, how long can you follow along? Thanks to a view...
Homotopy Classes, the Path Product, and Associativity
Просмотров 38110 месяцев назад
We give clear explanations visuals for the path product and homotopies of paths in a topological space. We focus on the fact that the path product is not necessarily associative, but that we can extend the path product to equivalence classes of homotopic paths, and show that the path product is associative on these homotopy classes. Along the way we show that a path is homotopic to any reparame...
Homotopy Intro
Просмотров 44610 месяцев назад
Homotopy between paths in a topological space can be tough to understand. This video aims to make it easy to understand! We'll intuitively define what a homotopy between paths is, use pictures and demonstrations to understand this idea, then use this to understand the rigorous definition of a homotopy, along with examples. This video is part of a growing playlist of mine dedicated to topology. ...
Paths and the Path Product
Просмотров 22910 месяцев назад
This topology video introduces paths in a topological space, and then the path product. This is the first video introducing some material needed to discuss the homotopy groups of a topological space. We carefully go over the definitions and animate some examples. The only prerequisite is knowing what a topological space is. I'm aiming to make this an easy introduction to algebraic topology.

The Stereographic Projection: Learn it FAST!
Really glad to see the small finite sets without metrics make it to the examples. Textbooks and professors rarely address them and expect students to divine on their own. I wish you had an example of a non-bijective function and how continuity may fail.
I might do some more topology vids in the future, I’ll keep this in mind.
The metric space criteria for convergence are clear. The general topological space criteria for convergence are not. It would have been more helpful to use as example the usually featured set X = {1, 2, 3} and its usually featured topology {emptyset, X, {1}, {1, 2}) and talk about point x = 3 and how basically every sequence converges to it (and possibly another limit as well). Do I understand this correctly? The only neighborhood of 3 under this topology is the set X. So no matter what the sequence is, X is always a neighborhood of any element in X, and 3 is thus always in the neighborhood. A sequence <x_n> = (1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2...) converges to 2 and to 3. Or did I misunderstand definitions? ----- Never mind, I should have watched the video till the end. Great video.
Very good video, and I appreciate the examples. Could you please order all your topology videos in a way they would be presented as lectures in a course? Thank you greatly.
FYI, because sagemath is based on Python, I believe you can use f-string formatting to print both the expression and result of an expression more easily using the equal sign, i.e. `f"{expr=}"`. For example, at 8:15, you could do `print(f"{gamma^(power)=}")`.
Thank you!
Amazing! Thank you
Hope it was helpful!
Thanks for great presentation
I hope it was helpful!
very nice, lets see Paul Allens Field extension
awesome video now do nxm
Thank you, but I may have actually miscounted the degenerate triangles. Check out one of the earlier comments.
It is crazy
you are so under-rated!!! Your content is a gold mine for number theory in math olympiads!! You've got a new subscriber!! :)
Thank you for your comment!
Very cool video! I had never seen these concepts before. Also never seen Sage. In the past I would use an ancient piece of software called Maxima to do algebra, whenever I got bored of doing it by hand. It seems Sage is a newer Python-based alternative, but it looks like they haven't figured out graphical input and output of mathematical formulas yet? One question: is (³√2 + ³√3) just one example of a primitive element for the field ℚ(³√2, ³√3)? I suppose any number of the form (a ³√2 + b ³√3 + c) with a, b, c ∈ ℚ would be a suitable alternative. But do all of its possible primitive elements have this form? Also, what happens when you keep adding all possible roots to ℚ? Since both the root arguments (ℕ) and the root indices (ℕ) are countably infinite, all possible roots are also countably infinite, by a similar diagonal construction as for ℚ. (Does the set of all possible roots have a name?) So the resulting extension would be isomorphic to a countably-infinite vector space of ℚ... which sounds a lot like ℝ. Is this yet another construction or definition of ℝ? Do transcendental numbers naturally appear in it, even though they were not included in its construction? Also, the primitive element theorem clearly does not apply, because it's not a finite extension, but what would a degenerate primitive element of this infinite extension look like? The... sum of all possible roots?
Thanks for watching! I’m not familiar with Maxima. Sage can do some plotting pretty similar to what you can with matplotlib in python. Yes this is just one example of a primitive root, there in fact many different combinations that could work. Here’s the proof sites.math.washington.edu//~greenber/MATH404-PrimElem.pdf You won’t quite get the reals from a process from this, since transcendentals aren roots of polynomials. You get a number field called the “algebraic numbers”.
Please keep clickbaiting math! 🎉
Do complex integrals and the residue theorem please
This is awesome, especially the Sage Math demo. This is the type of thing that should have been given as hw in my abstract algebra II class where Sage Math could be used instead of keeping the problems computationally simple enough to do on paper, which forces the set of available hw problems to be quite boring.
Thank you for the comment! I look forward to exploring more of what neat abstract algebra stuff that Sage can do.
Great 👍
Thank you, I hope it was helpful!
you should have made your first basis vector gamma^0 = 1 and not used gamma^9, but the linear combinations that make alpha and beta didn't end up using the gamma^9, so I don't have that much of an issue.
Thank you for the comment.
Seems like an interesting video, but so quiet that it's actually hard to watch lol
Yeah I plan to try a different volume setting on the next vid. Thanks for watching!
The short form content is great, enough to intrigue and a great sell to watch the full video. Gonna have to check it out, please keep sharing!

Title should’ve ended with ellipsis
Thank you, the next one will.
Phrasing an abstract algebra explainer as if it's youtube drama is quite possibly the greatest thing I've ever seen. You could teach so much to unsuspecting high-schoolers by making titles like this hahaha
no need just see the equation , it say it all.
I think the issue is that equations don’t necessarily speak to everyone, or that some people need more information or a different medium for understanding concepts.
En los últimos días, he estado ocupado tratando de construir la raíz cúbica de tres en el plano. Claro, demostré que es imposible. Y luego, aparece este video recomendado, fruto de cómo me espía el algoritmo

Elementary, my dear Watson!
Great video, and the history at tme beginning helped to explain the motivation for studying these field extensions. (I've only taken a basic Abstract Algebra class that never reached the topic of field extensions.) And, yes, like everyone else is saying, I clicked for the silly title too, haha!
I didn’t really get into the history in undergrad. I feel like it’s hard to do since it requires a LOT of context and familiarity with some advanced concepts.
Pretty random but I watched your Topology playlist for a whole semester, did so good in my class that my professor offered me an undergrad research opportunity :) I think I'll owe you my degree when I graduate lol
That’s great to hear! I’m so pleased you found them helpful!
This Is The Greatest Mathematics Of All Time
I will not argue with you.
Thank you kind sir! Never heard of this theorem, nevertheless loved everything about this video: historical bit, explanation, visualisations ❤
Thank you for your comment!
three completely horrible video titles today. it's really wearing me down
Sorry friend, hope your day gets better.

Great video, I took an abstract algebra class as a comp sci major, and loved learning more about this type of thing. Keep it up!

moistcritical physics
Definitely the inspiration for the title. I Just started getting into his channel this year.
I thought the title meant too many primitive elements are being discovered or sth🤣
Oh my god you mentioned Brahmagupta! Finally professors have stopped teaching that the Greeks and Persians came up with everything! Mathematics has had such a rich history and india was a big part of it, its so sad that this history has been almost totally omitted up until relatively recently. Lots of love, Gaurahari Das
very deep result. Galois couldn't demonstrate it.
It’s interesting that he knew some extent of it.
Here's a fun problem. Let a,b,c be formal variables. Let L be the field Q(a,b,c), and let K be the field Q(a+b+c,ab+bc+ca,abc). Clearly K is a subset of L. (In fact it is precisely the set of _symmetric_ rational functions in a,b,c.) The problem is to prove that L=K(a-b). Note that this is an instance of the primitive root theorem, in the sense that the theorem guarantees us that L=K(gamma) for _some_ gamma in L.
That does sound cool!
You are talking too fast. I can't follow at that speed.
Playback speed -> 0.5 speed 😁
Thanks! You math Guys are great!
Thank you for your comment!
2:30 It is del Ferro, not 'Farro'
But really good video, very well explained
Thank you!
the proof is what's crazy (imo), because it turns out almost all gamma = alpha+x*beta can do the job. But I don't remember if there is some clever choice of x that will always work.
Oh yeah I agree. I’d been watching a lot of Penguinz0 and thought I’d try one of his titles 😁
this is a fun video idea! edit: im also a big fan of judson's free algebra book!
It’s a solid book! We used to teach out of Hungerford’s book, also pretty thorough, but kind of expensive.
the clickbait worked 😂
I can’t believe it either, but I’m happy about it.
Very nice video!
Thank you!
Super cool video! Seeing (gamma = alpha + beta) at the end was a bit jarring though: I think a common reaction to this result would inspire the question "is that just always true?". A quick statement like "in this case, it happens to be..." would help contextualize that answer since the result is presented almost as trivial without explanation. @MasterHigure has a nice comment below that added some important information to this point, though I cannot understand the notation 🙂
Yeah the proof of the theorem shows almost all expressions alpha+t*beta work, but I didn’t want to get into that in the video, rather just demonstrate a particular element works.
I think in Zorn's Lemma we need to specify that there should be an upper bound IN THE SET S, so that the statement holds. Otherwise, we can take the set [0, 1), which doesn't have a maximal element
Yes you’re right, that’s what I was going for but maybe didn’t say explicitly?
You are such a nerd.
