Abstract Algebra

What separates abstract algebra from concrete algebra?

 

[milagros317]

You deduce properties of a class of mathematical objects from the axioms that they satisfy. 😀

That made no sense to me. I didn't do well in Algebra II in high school.

 

[milagros317]

Don't be sad. Abstract Algebra is usually, for math majors, the hardest course that they take. 😀

Is that why you like teaching it? Because it's nigh-impossible?

 

[milagros317]

Is that why you like teaching it? Because it's nigh-impossible?

No, I like teaching it because it has many beautiful theorems in it. 😀

Did you just call a theorem beautiful?

 

[milagros317]

Yes, some of them are beautiful. 😀

How long does it take for you to be put into that elaborate bondage you post pictures of?

 

[milagros317]

It takes GS between 30 and 60 minutes to do all the work of putting me in it. 😀

And how long are you in the bondage once it's completed?

 

[milagros317]

That varies a lot. Longest so far is five hours.

Don't you need to use the men's room during those 5 hours?

 

[milagros317]

I needed to use the bathroom after the five hours. 😀

Can GS effectively tickle you under all that get-up?

 

[milagros317]

She can certainly get to my armpits, ribs, and feet. 😀
