Talk:Glossary of group theory

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It says, "Order of an element of a group. Suppose x∈G and there exists a positive integer m such that xm = e, then the smallest possible m is called the order of x. The order of a finite group is divisible by the order of every element."

What is e? Is e∈G true? dave 21:07, 8 Sep 2004 (UTC)

e is the identity element of the group. So yes, e∈G is true.

[edit] Glossary Symbology

I am working on a Sudoku maths page, and will be working through (as in referencing, using) the Group theory articles. I would like to incorporate the symbololgy (denoting symbols) from the other articles in the/this glossary. If no one objects, I will do so. Principally I don't like duplicating info, which creates an update sync. headache, but here I think it's appropriate. --LarryLACa 17:02, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
