A Gentle Alert on the Definitions of Basic Algebraic Structures

Jonathan Hoseana¹

International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, v56 n3 p555-559 2025

We provide a gentle alert that the standard definitions of basic algebraic structures--such as that of a group--contain aspects that may be questionable to students, and discuss what instructors could do to minimise the questionability.
