Upvoted. Very true, and thanks for the mistakes and stuff. I'll fix the ones I can, and I'm adding some more stuff that actually relates to CS.


Are you also going to fix the assertion that matrices form a group under multiplication? (They don't: not all matrices have inverses. The general linear group is what you are probably looking for.) It's a bit embarrassing that of your three examples of groups, only one is actually a group...


Sorry, again. I'm really trying my best to keep it all correct, but, I do make mistakes.


Another mistake you might want to fix:

>(like, matrix multplication isn't commutative, that means: A∗B≠B∗A when B and A are matrices)

You want to say something like "A∗B isn't necessarily equal to B∗A when B and A are matrices." Neither A∗B≠B∗A nor A∗B=B∗A are true in general when A and B are matrices.


Fixed. Thanks for telling me these things, it really helps.


The historical context was useful.
