Sir, this is 3b1b caliber work with maybe even deeper content. I can't believe I just found your channel. I know there are other number systems but to have a complete guide with the context for why they were made and a quick explanation is mind bending. I needed this video so bad I can't even describe how I even feel about it. Thank you.

Those algebras have nilpotents; the only sorts of those algebras without nilpotents are those such that the ideal generated by each primitive idempotent is actually a division ring, meaning that that simple ideal is isomorphic to ℝ, ℂ, or ℍ

The second anti-commutative 4D algebra with x² = 0 and y² = -1 is not the dual-quaternions as you said, but rather the planar-quaternions. The dual-quaternions are an 8D algebra and contains the planar-quaternions, containing an extra anti-commuting term squaring to -1. These along with several other algebras can be generated as Clifford algebras, denoted as Cl(p, q, r), where p is the number of orthogonal elements squaring the +1, q the number of such elements squaring to -1, and r the number squaring to 0. The planar-quaternions are Cl(0,1,1) and the dual-quaternions are Cl(0,2,1). As a bonus, the quaternions are Cl(0,2,0), ℂomplex numbers Cl(0,1,0), dual numbers Cl(0,0,1), hyperbolic numbers (the more descriptive name for the split-complex numbers) Cl(1,0,0), and the ℝeals are also included as Cl(0,0,0). These algebras are often very useful for describing geometric transformations in space, which is why they're often called geometric algebras. ℂomplex numbers are well known for describing 2D rotations, and the quaternions for 3D rotations. Geometric algebras extend these to higher dimensional rotations, as well as a few other things. Your third example, which is Cl(1,1,0), is often used as a simplified version of Cl(1,3,0), used for modelling a 2D slice of the 4D spacetime of Special Relativity. I loved seeing the binary rationals, not because I'm already a fan (this is actually the first time I've heard about them formally), but because I happen to be enjoy programming and computing, so I instantly recognized it as ideal fixed point and floating point numbers. It also made me consider how ℤ[1/10] would be the ring of all decimal expansions. (I'd assume finite, because otherwise it'd be indistinguishable from the ℝeals.) I was hoping for a little more time spent on modular integers, but they'll probably come up when you make the video on p-adics, because the p-adic integers with n digits of precision is equivalent to ℤ mod p^n. Again, my interest in computing makes me naturally more interested in the 2-adics specifically, and things like ℤ mod 256, ℤ mod 65536, ℤ mod 2^32, etc, since they're exactly the rings that 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit integers represent. Integer "overflow" is usually treated as an error by most programmers, but it's just a natural part of doing modular arithmetic that should be completely expected.

The 'American' number system, initially based on the UK's 'Imperial' system makes use of the fact that powers of 2 are 'practical numbers', they have useful divisors. In the days before calculators and digital scales then measuring things is most convenient if you use 'practical numbers'. Hence the Babylonian system using base 60, and the old British system of Pounds, shillings and pence, with 12 pence in shilling, and 20 shillings in a pound. If you're weighing out money using scales those units are exceptionally useful. Likewise the crazy 12 inches in a foot, if you have to divide up lengths by 2 or 3 or 4 or 6, 12 has lots of divisors.

There's nothing practical about powers of 2, as the only divisors of powers of 2 are, well, powers of 2. All of which also divide the corresponding powers of 10! The other numbers you mention, like 12 or 60, are highly-composite numbers. (A highly-composite number is a positive integer with more divisors than any other positive integer smaller than itself.) Those were chosen for the reason you mention. Powers of 2, not really - I can only assume that the choice to use powers of 2 often comes from the fact that most people can split things into halves visually with reasonable accuracy, but not into fractions with higher denominators.

an example of division by zero being allowed with infinity as an actual number is IEEE 754 floating point arithmetic. infinity is just a bin from one number to infinity. and the way it represents numbers more like bins of numbers rather than discrete points is interesting as well (inf is a clear example of it, but also different scales has them at different sizes)
@therealax6
@therealax6 11 ай бұрын
While this is true, floating-point arithmetic doesn't form a ring by any means. Take the smallest possible positive float, let's call it q (q = 2^(-159) for floats and q = 2^(-1074) for doubles). Now consider the product q * (0.5 * 2), which is clearly q * 1 = q. But on the other hand, what about (q * 0.5) * 2? Well, q * 0.5 is irrepresentable, so it either has to be rounded up to q or down to 0, But if you round up to q, then the overall result is q * 2 = 2q; if you round down to 0, the overall result is 0. Either way multiplication is not associative.

24:20 for anybody wondering more about why zero divisors are an issue, one intuitive reason is because it removes one of our main methods of equation solving. for example, if you were trying to solve x^2=x, you'd bring both to one side and factor to get x(x-1)=0. now, normally two numbers multiplying to get 0 means that one of them is 0, so you can break this into two cases: one where x=0 and one where x-1=0, and then you have your solutions but when you have nonzero numbers that multiply together to get 0, you lose this method of equation solving, because you can no longer assume that one of x or x-1 equals 0, because they could just be a pair of zero divisors it's the same reason we study p-adics for primes p instead of just n-adics for any natural number n, because composite n leads to zero divisors in our n-adic system on the other hand, the idea that two numbers can multiply to give 0 is super intriguing and definitely worth investigating. what other consequences of 0 divisors are there, and how can we work around them if possible?
@stanleydodds9
@stanleydodds9 Жыл бұрын
The way I think of it is that being in an integral domain is equivalent to always being able to cancel multiplication and get a true implication. So if I have an equation ax = ay, and there are no zero divisors, it is true to say that x = y. So essentially, it's the precursor to being able to do division; division is injective, but only where it's possible. In a field, we have the stronger result that division is always possible and is injective, except by 0.

you are looking for Clifford Algebra. In particular, Cl1,3(R) aka the spacetime algebra. I personally find it easier to understand it in the language of covariant/contravariant vectors and inner products. Hamilton initially invented the quaternions to represent a vector in 3D space, and Maxwell's equation was originally written in quaternions. But we now use the language of vectors and tensors instead.

Like that the clifford algebras are an algebra which you get as the quotient of a tensor algebra.

By "number", I think I mean something like : a set of symbols that I can concatenate with other symbols (the operators, like "+" for example) in order to go from a symbols (number) to another... I'm pretty sure this definition is no rigorus at all, but by wrtitting it I realized that infact, the basis element e_i of Clifford algebras fit this definition :) But the problem is that everything seems so hard in these algebra (exterior product, quadratic form,...) ; for quaternions for example, we just have 3 rules (i^2 = j^2 = k^2 = -1), and everything follows as usual (despite we loose commutativity of course, but it is easily shown from basic aritmetic with quaternions). For example, I don't understand how to reconstruct complex numbers in Clifford algebra language. Apparently, in Clifford algebra e_i*e_j = -e_j*e_i when e_i =/= e_j , but to me, the basis elements of complex numbers are noted "1" and "i", and 1*i =/= -i*1 .... I've read in Wikipedia that "Hamilton's quaternions are constructed as the even subalgebra of the Clifford algebra" ; why quaternions aren't just Cl(3,0) ?? Maybe what I'm looking for is a 3d/4d algebra with "simple enough" aritmetic ? I don't really know ^^'

Much in the video was on ideals. My interest, however, is on the complements of ideals, filters, because I've found a connection between them and cognition. I wish there were any videos on filters.

Although I realize that non-associative algebras are not particularly important in number theory, the usual result from Frobenius is that there is a fourth finite-dimensional real division algebra, the eight-dimensional octonions O. (Curiously, the higher-dimensional Cayley-Dickson algebras have zero-divisors but also multiplicative inverses for all non-zero elements, which only makes sense because they're non-associative; the octonions are alternative, but beyond that, the algebras are just power-associative and are of little use, with only the sedenions S and trigintaduonions even having commonly used names.)

You didn't mention that the dimensions of fields over Q can vary really much, compared to those over R. And this in fact is more intuitive, since it is much easier to reason and calculate over Q (and its algebraic extensions) than over R. All those radicals in our notation suggest field extensions from Q in fact, and even more so do Bring radicals and more complicated things suggest such extensions from Q. Working directly over R, it would be more natural to use no radicals at all except for square roots of negative numbers, expressing everything else in terms of Archimedically converging limits. So in practice, we work more over Q than over R, when calculating (algebraic) solutions. Or rather, we work over some finite dimensional subfield of the infinite dimensional algebraic closure of Q, plus extending this field with certain transcendental constants that may be defined through limits or otherwise through exponential and trigonometric functions. Also, since you mentioned non-commutative rings (over R, not over Q unfortunately, which is much more interesting to study!), it would have been nice if you had mentioned non-associative rings with the Moufang property (which may or may not be the same as alternative rings). In such case, the octonions alternative field O, would have fit nicely besides the skew field H, the field C, and the ordered field R. Skew field being a different name for division ring, and alternative field being a different name for division algebra of course.

Great indeed. To me this is very much in the spirit of the "naturalist" approach to mathematics advocated by John Conway. It helped me gluing/ unifying several of my mental pictures in algebra. I would like to know if in fact you appreciate John Conway?

Here is a much more streamlined version the proof, Gauss's proof but in a more modern language thats easier to understand: qr.ae/pKXrJ3 Stuff I have talked about in this video, such as units, ideals, modulo, UFD etc, all shows up in to proof

I think what makes finding the solutions to the quadratic equation with the restriction to positive integers much more difficult is exactly that: the restriction. While taking the square of an integer is perfectly fine in its scope of „counting“ (just by multiplication), its inverse is beyond the scope of the number system as taking the square root can result in irrational numbers. Therefore, finding solutions to the Pythagorean equation naturally belongs into the realm of irrationals, wouldn’t you agree? We observe similar effects in other fields, e.g., in geometry where analyzing surfaces in 3D is much harder and nuanced as analyzing volumes, because volumes naturally belong in 3D while surfaces are restricted objects embedded into 3D. Similarly, 2D regions in 2D are easier to handle than 1D objects (lines) in 2D. What are your thoughts on that? Anyway, very nice video!
