Eccentric Hero Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 1 hour ago, Xaladin said: In my algebra class I was already excited when I started seeing Syl everywhere, but it doesn't end there. p is a prime number and H is a finite group. Sylp(H) is the set of all Sylow p-subgroups of H. I'm taking Calculus but I didn't understand what this Syl thing is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah cos Calc is about derivatives, rates of change, integrals, and areas, whereas the Syl thing (I'm not sure what it is either) is about set theory or group theory (I think; I'm trying to follow the sines but I may be leading you off on a tangent). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did think of that, but I decided on something more prominent in the story. Plus, it gets really windy where I sail (38 knots/70kph) so I always capsize (the boats a dinghy, so about 3ish meters), so it often isn't pleasurable wind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the puns, btw. LOL. Don't feel too bad. It's a graduate level course in abstract algebra. I'm a Masters student at BYU. @The True Survivor Yes, it is group theory. A Sylow group is a group of order prime power. A Sylow p-subgroup of a group is a subgroup of order the highest power of p dividing the order of the group. Sylow's theorem says there is always at least one such subgroup for each prime diving the order of the group. Syl is the set of all such subgroups, etc. Syl knows all about it too. Kaladin just hasn't asked her yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
