"Gram" can refer to several things, depending on the context. Here are a few of the most common meanings: 1. **Unit of Mass**: A gram is a metric unit of mass equal to one thousandth of a kilogram (0.001 kg). It is commonly used to measure small weights in fields such as cooking, nutrition, and science.
The term "Maund" can refer to a few different concepts, but it is most commonly associated with "Maundy," especially in a Christian context. Specifically, Maundy Thursday is the day during Holy Week that commemorates the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with his disciples, as well as the institution of the Eucharist (Communion). It is observed on the Thursday before Easter and is part of the Paschal Triduum.

Like the rationals, this field also has the same cardinality as the natural numbers, because we can specify and enumerate each of its members by a fixed number of integers from the polynomial equation that defines them. So it is a bit like the rationals, but we use potentially arbitrary numbers of integers to specify each number (polynomial coefficients + index of which root we are talking about) instead of just always two as for the rationals.
Each algebraic number also has a degree associated to it, i.e. the degree of the polynomial used to define it.
As shown in Video "Simple Groups - Abstract Algebra by Socratica (2018)", this can be split up into two steps:This split is sometimes called the "Jordan-Hölder program" in reference to the authors of the jordan-Holder Theorem.
Good lists to start playing with:

It is generally believed that no such classification is possible in general beyond the simple groups.
Ciro Santilli is very fond of this result: the beauty of mathematics.
How can so much complexity come out from so few rules?
How can the proof be so long (thousands of papers)?? Surprise!!
And to top if all off, the awesomely named monster group could have a relationship with string theory via the monstrous moonshine?
The classification contains:
- cyclic groups: infinitely many, one for each prime order. Non-prime orders are not simple. These are the only Abelian ones.
- alternating groups of order 4 or greater: infinitely many
- groups of Lie type: a contains several infinite families
- sporadic groups: 26 or 27 of them depending on definitions

Some insights, but too much on the popular science side of things.
The process that imports proteins encoded in the nuclear DNA and made in the cytosol into the mitochondria.
Power, Sex, Suicide by Nick Lane (2006) suggests that proteins are somehow tagged with extra amino acids for this.
Argumentation theory is a multidisciplinary field that studies the structure, content, and dynamics of arguments, focusing on how they are constructed, understood, and evaluated. It draws from various fields, including philosophy, linguistics, communication, artificial intelligence, and law. Key aspects of argumentation theory include: 1. **Structure of Arguments**: Examination of the components that make up an argument, such as premises, conclusions, and inferential connections.
Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.Figure 1. Screenshot of the "Derivative" topic page.
