The Fundamentals

The Fundamental Theorem of Mathematics

Every number is a unique product of primes.

The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra

Every algebraic equation has at least one complex root.

The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

Differentiation and integration are inverse processes.

Roots of Unity

If one is on the unit circle for complex numbers - the
Argand plane - then one can draw any number of -gon
figures within it. With the first apex at (1,0) one moves
around the circle (2pi) in a counterclockwise fashion.

In polar form, multiplying n times involves adding the
identical angle measurement each time. The corners
of the figure are thus 'roots of unity'.

Field (corps)

Sets of numbers. Examples would be Real numbers, Irrational numbers, Complex numbers; each
accepts commutative multiplication, so the basic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication
and division are possible.

Group (groupe)

Specialized subfields. Eg Lie groups.
