Is there a name for the subset of algebraic numbers that are not expressible a finite combination of radicals and the elementary operations of (+,-,*,/) ?

The solutions to certain quintics (or even higher order equations) with integer coefficients are not expressible using finite nested radicals. I believe these are called 'unsovlable' quintics.

But the solutions to these equations are still by definition algebraic numbers.

Edit: For people saying that numbers expressible in terms of finite terms of radicals should be called 'FOO' and thus what I want should be called non-FOO, non-FOO would also include the transcenyoudental numbers, something I explicitly don't want. So I guess you would have to call them non-FOO algebraic numbers.

When solving an algebraic equation, why do we have to do the same operation on both sides?

For example, x + 5 = 10. We subtract 5 from 10 and also subtract 5 from itself, and the answer will give x = 5. Why do we have to do it on both sides? Why can't we just subtract 5 from 10?

 total_infected / population

Generalization of algebraic operations.

I don’t fully understand why, but for some reason people are shown quite an interest to my previous post (https://www.reddit.com/r/math/comments/abllub/is_there_a_way_to_generalize_this_function_for/ ) so I feel an ought to explain what it was really about and probably initiate more general discussion about the idea I had. At first I must warn you that I am not a mathematician, so feel free point on any of my mistake or misunderstanding if there would any.

I’ve been working on generative algorithm that have a peace of code where I define several operations of different orders and I thought that there should exist some elegant function that could generate an operation over two numbers of a given order n. That lead me to wikipedia page of hyperoperations and specifically Albert Bennett’s definition of them that looks like exactly what I was looking for.

On Wiki page there is recursive definition of it, but playing with it a little bit I found out that there is more general definition that constructs as following:

At first we should define Bennett function Ξ²^(n) like:

https://preview.redd.it/v34uyoesr2821.png?width=287&format=png&auto=webp&s=1115f5828b6b331654373ac91bf3d55bf85a2358

And then define Bennett operation B^(n) like:

https://preview.redd.it/p06ui6kag2821.png?width=394&format=png&auto=webp&s=23c1f2117c0c0d04642b8544a05cadc20035b34d

For any n from β„€.

Now we can play around with it, and first thing that I notice was an existence of zero and negative elements for any B^(n) defined as:

Z^(n) = Ξ²^(n) (0)

N^(n) = Ξ²^(n) (iΟ€)

These elements have following properties

B^(n) (x, Z^(n)) = x

B^(n-1) (x, B^(n) (x, N^(n))) = Z^(n-1)

So, Z^(n) acts as identity element over operation B^(n) and N^(n) generate Inverse element for given x over operation B^(n-1)

Here is table of zeros and negatives for some operations:

n As Bennett operation Corresponding expression N^(n) Z^(n)
-1 B^(-1)(a, b) ln(e^(a) + e^(b)) ln(iΟ€) ln(0)
0 B^(0) (a, b) a + b iΟ€ 0
1 B^(1) (a, b) a * b -1 1
2 B^(2) (a, b) a^(ln(b)) e ^(-1) e
3 B^(3) (a, b) exp(a^(ln(ln(b)))) e^(1/e) e^(e)

Note: it ok that there is no solution for ln(0) because we still can use it as zero element like so

B^(-1)(x, B^(0)(x, N^(0))) = Z^(-1) ⇔ ln(e^(x) + e^(x + iΟ€)) = ln(e^(x) \

Algebraic operations involving dy, dx and related questions

I know this has been asked on this very sub and on other forums and honest I've probably read some 25 threads regarding this topic over the past couple of years, but I can never get a satisfactory answer. I've asked my (community college) teachers, where I completed my calculus series and didn't get a good answer either.

What's the deal with multiplying and dividing with dy, dx, etc? So many texts, videos, and instructors make strange comments, and ominous warnings regarding these maneuvers, ie, when multiplying and dividing by them as if they were variables. Some of those videos which are posted on this sub and are mentioned to be of good quality, like 3blue1brown's "essence of calculus", always have explanations that involve moving these around willy nilly, and Grant even goes out of his way to mention that dx is a finite, non zero value, which seems to allow for this. But there are always commenters in the videos that recoil in horror.

I really want to understand what's the deal with dx. My math knowledge is limited to calc 1-3 and diff eqs, but with As in all and I generally have striven to really understand as much as could. I know that lower math classes do not stress proofs and I do not remember everything as some of that stuff just never gets used, (I'm not a math major) but I'm just trying to demonstrate my ability and willingness to learn. I think if I were given a straightforward answer, without the assumption that I understand any higher level maths, I could understand this (baffling) concept. How do differential forms tie in? Is dx always dx? Why can I or can't I multiply/divide with these terms? When can I? Why don't teachers have a good answer? Is this something I should be banging my head over?

Are there algebraic structures that have three operations?

Obviously you can take integer powers within any ring (or any group depending on your notation), but I am looking for structures that have two commutative operations, the second of which is distributive over the first, and a third not necessarily commutative one which is distributive over the second one. Let me know if there's anything I need to specify, am interested to hear your replies!

[Undergrad] Algebraic properties of remainder operation

Actually this problem came when writing code for a grid based display of text. A certain 'remainder' value I end up with assigning the following algebraic formula:

(x - y % x) % x

Where '%' is the remainder operator in C++. If remainder had the same distributive properties as multiplication it could be rewritten as

x%x - y%(x%x)  -or-  (x%x)%(1 - y)

which simplifies to

-(y%0)  -or-  0

Which is undefined in the first case. Is there a way to tell if what I've come up with is 'well formed', or if there is a better way of writing it besides the fact that it seems to work for what I need?

Is there an algebra where a "multiplication"-like operator is ternary, or non-binary?

The Cayley-Dixon algebras are by far the most important algebras used today, and because reals have the multiplicative identity, the number of imaginary parts always has to be 2^n - 1 for n >= 0 (0 for reals, 1 imaginary part for complex numbers, 3 for quaternions, 7 for octonions, etc.). But that's an axiomatic assumption that any number's multiplication has to be binary. With a non-commutative ternary operator, where under the reals multiplication is commutative to make the appearance of binary multiplication, an algebra could "divide" with 1 real part and 5 non-real parts.

Use of BLAS vs direct SIMD for linear algebra library operations?

I am looking to create a small, templated linear algebra library as a personal project and have recently discovered BLAS and libraries such as OpenBLAS which make use of SIMD instructions to perform vector operations faster.

My question is, should I be using these libraries to compute e.g. dot products, matrix products etc.? Is that there ultimate intended use? If so, is OpenBLAS a reasonable choice for this? Or should I use something like usimd to compute these using SIMD instructions directly myself?

Also, do libraries like Eigen and GLM use BLAS under the hood, or do they directly go to SIMD instructions?
