The Fall

This fall I’ll probably be taking math 741 (Abstract Algebra - finite groups and noncommutative rings) and 744 (Algebraic Graph Theory). These classes will kick my ass.

the n Queens problem

Learned a new sequence today: 1, 0, 0, 2, 10, 4, 40, 92, 352, 724, 2680, 14200, 73712, 365596, 2279184, 14772512, 95815104, 666090624, 4968057848, 39029188884, 314666222712, 2691008701644, 24233937684440… There doesn’t seem to be a closed form solution to this one.

ALGEBRA!

Worked most of the night on algebra. Took exam this morning. I think I got three out of four problems right. Am happy with that.

I need to work harder in this class. I think it’s important. Abe suggests I check out this book.

From Today’s Algebra Class

You can define a natural isomorphism from HomR(R1), R2)) to (R2))Λ1. (Where HomR(R1), R2)) is the R-linear homomorphisms from R1) to R2).)

HomR(R1), R2)) —> R2) , Λ1

If f is an element of HomR(R1), R2)) then that map sends f to [f], a (Λ2) , Λ1 matrix.

Isn’t that the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen?
