Hello everyone! I took a modern abstract algebra class this semester =
and there is something that caught my attention, and which I think would =
make a neat program. I would like to have a program in which given any =
set and the table accompaning the set, the computer would display a =
message stating whether the set is a group or not. I guess I would have =
to get the computer to ask for the amount of elements in the set, say 6, =
and then have the computer generate a 6 by 6 matrix, in which the user =
would enter the corresponding table, so the computer can figure out, =
after testing for the required properties, whether the set is a group or =
not. You might think that I'm very lazy to want the computer to do this =
for me, and I guess you are right, this is probably the reason why =
computer programming is becoming more interesting by the minute. You do =
the work only once and then the computer does it for you. It is =
beautiful! I have so many little projects that could make my life much =
much easier, that I don't know where to start. My only and biggest =
problem is that I'm a computer illiterate and have no clue as to where =
to start, however, I'm willing to do what it takes to learn. I know =
that some help over the internet might not do miracles for me, but I =
guess it would be a start. I have the book Teach Yourself Python in 24 =
Hours and I'm reading it, but I guess I need more help. Can you help =
me.
