THIS ONE IS EASY OR SO IT SEEMS TO ME: THE ORDER OF A GROUP.

The order of a group is the number of elements in the group. The order of one of the elements in a group can be tricky to find unless we know the the group itself and the factorization of the group is also known--other wise forget it. I think we are talking about infinite groups here as opposed to finite ones. This one concept is easy enough for me to understand, however I can't wait to start finding the order of some groups and some elements of groups because I never understood before what my subtle professor was talking about during that unforgettable lecture on the order of groups and the order of the elements in a group.

FROM NOUMENA

ABOUT NOUMENA AND PHENOMENA. Welcome to my blog

NOUMENA : I define Noumena as all that can be perceived by the senses plus all that which cannot be perceived by the senses and define phenomena as all that which can be perceived by the senses. Therefore who can tell? This is all there is to it and that is that? In this sense I agree with Kant when in his Critic of Pure Reason states " How is all knowledge possible?" Be that knowledge apriori or aposteriori or both. All knowledge is possible only inasmuch as we are capable of perceiving it which can be perceived at all. However we would argue; our knowledge, is incomplete therefore void of complete reality. We only know (at most) about the world partially and not totally. Who so ever maintains he/she knows everything is only pretending to know that which she/he does not know. One must then agree with Plato that to know anything, one must see what is and what is not possible in the world.
