A Brief History of Algebra and Computing: An Eclectic Oxonian View
نویسنده
چکیده
This can of course be solved using algebra. The rst treatise on algebra was written by Diophantus of Alexandria in the 3rd century AD. The term derives from the Arabic al-jabr or literally \the reunion of broken parts." As well as its mathematical meaning, the word also means the surgical treatment of fractures. It gained widespread use through the title of a book ilm al-jabr wa'l-mukabala|the science of restoring what is missing and equating like with like|written by the mathematicianAbu Ja'far Muhammad (active c800{847), who subsequently has become know as al-Kharazmi,

متن کاملA brief introduction to quaternion matrices and linear algebra and on bounded groups of quaternion matrices
The division algebra of real quaternions, as the only noncommutative normed division real algebra up to isomorphism of normed algebras, is of great importance. In this note, first we present a brief introduction to quaternion matrices and quaternion linear algebra. This, among other things, will help us present the counterpart of a theorem of Herman Auerbach in the setting of quaternions. More ...

متن کاملOn some classes of expansions of ideals in $MV$-algebras
In this paper, we introduce the notions of expansion of ideals in $MV$-algebras, $ (tau,sigma)- $primary, $ (tau,sigma)$-obstinate and $ (tau,sigma)$-Boolean in $ MV- $algebras. We investigate the relations of them. For example, we show that every $ (tau,sigma)$-obstinate ideal of an $ MV-$ algebra is $ (tau,sigma)$-primary and $ (tau,sigma)$-Boolean. In particular, we define an expansion $ ...
متن کاملA new algorithm for computing SAGBI bases up to an arbitrary degree
We present a new algorithm for computing a SAGBI basis up to an arbitrary degree for a subalgebra generated by a set of homogeneous polynomials. Our idea is based on linear algebra methods which cause a low level of complexity and computational cost. We then use it to solve the membership problem in subalgebras.
