This is a detailed survey -- with rigorous and self-contained proofs -- of some of the basics of elementary combinatorics and algebra, including the properties of finite sums, binomial coefficients, permutations and determinants. It is entirely expository (and written to a large extent as a repository for folklore proofs); no new results (and few, if any, new proofs) appear.

Discussion (0). Continue with ORCID to comment.

  1. On Noether's Degree Bound for Finite Group Schemes

    math.AC 2025-05 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    For linearly reductive finite group schemes, invariant rings are generated in degree at most the order of the group scheme, while for α_q the required degree is unbounded.

  2. An introduction to the symmetric group algebra

    math.CO 2025-07 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    A self-contained, proof-heavy graduate text that develops the symmetric group algebra from scratch and proves the standard basis theorem, Garnir relations, hook length formula, and Murphy cellular bases.

  3. An introduction to the algebra of rings and fields

    math.RA 2025-07 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    A freely licensed undergraduate textbook covering rings, modules, polynomial rings, finite fields, quadratic reciprocity, Gröbner bases, and Smith normal form, with over 200 exercises.
