what has the i^k function got to do with rotational symmetries of the square?
"Find the value of 159 in Z_9" This one is too ecliptic to be standing on its own, but what connection has it got with multiplying permutations? there's no "Z" in the brackets...
I want to prove a point here, but this many "big" english words make my head spin!
I'm on a math exam here, not english
I gave you two rather common groups, and anyone who's had a course in this kind of material would know the connection between these two groups. You either know it or you don't.what has the i^k function got to do with rotational symmetries of the square?
ps: i is the square root of -1. Just to clarify.
They're two separate problems, silly. That's why they don't have too much to do with each other."Find the value of 159 in Z_9" This one is too ecliptic to be standing on its own, but what connection has it got with multiplying permutations? there's no "Z" in the brackets...
Do you know what Z_9 is? Asking the value of an integer in Z_9 is not too "ecliptic" (wtf??) to be standing on its own, it's a perfectly valid question with a pretty damned solid answer.
...You do know all the areas of mathematics I listed before, right? You weren't terribly specific when you said "those beasts" so I assumed it all of the above...If you don't understand what I typed then it's not a matter of knowing English, it's a matter of not knowing upper-level university mathematics.
