[ruby-core:54112] [ruby-trunk - Feature #8232] Rudiments of abstract algebra in Ruby
From:
"boris_stitnicky (Boris Stitnicky)" <boris@...>
Date:
2013-04-08 16:41:40 UTC
List:
ruby-core #54112
Issue #8232 has been updated by boris_stitnicky (Boris Stitnicky). > -1. I can't see how this would help most Rubyists. I think that I have to come clean, that Hermes, not Apollo inspired me to raise this issue. In some quarters, abstract algebra is considered cool. If we have #additive_idenity (alias #zero) and #multiplicative_identity (alias #one) in all algebraic rings (such as Numerics), nobody can point fingers (like Randall Schulz does in that SO comment, see the link in my original post at the top) that Ruby people are "hobbyist proffesionals" who "reject formal mathematical foundations" and "insist on a purely intuitive approach". Yes, Ruby is based on abstract algebra, yes, we support as much as was pragmatic. The thing is, to sprinkle just ever so little abstract algebra terminology (Rings, Fields, Monoids, #additive_inverse, #multiplicative_inverse...) to give Ruby cute fake glasses :-))) http://coderay.rubychan.de/images/ruby-chan-coderay-small.png?1302355251 A bit more seriously, it is already possible to ask Numeric#zero?, so why not have its counterpart methods without question mark, such as Float.zero, Integer.zero (and Float.one, Integer.one...) > Finally, as I explained in #8223, I don't think that Matrix could use a generic `zero` method. I will try to subclass it into MatrixOverAlgebraicRing, that does use #zero and #one, I'll let you know. > > ... I would like ... that Matrix ... does not need to be loaded by require. > ... I'm -1 on this too, as I believe very very few Rubyists need Matrix. Compare that to `set`... Very few Rubyists need Matrix? Really? So if I think that everyone needs matrices, and that Ruby is my Octave++, I'm weird? I understand that in past, there was probably an issue of whether Set should be enabled by default, and it was rejected. But Set is imitated so well by Arrays! Am I weird again to think that matrices (and tensors) are more fundamental? > BTW, coding it in C would be a huge undertaking too. And necessary. I'll start (re)learning C, I promise :-) ---------------------------------------- Feature #8232: Rudiments of abstract algebra in Ruby https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8232#change-38363 Author: boris_stitnicky (Boris Stitnicky) Status: Open Priority: Normal Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto) Category: Target version: I have recently been struggling with Matrix class to make it accept physical magnitudes for matrix multiplication, and at that opportunity (http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8223), I noticed that rings and fields in Ruby do not know their additive identity. Eg. there is no method Float#zero or Rational#zero... I therefore propose that: 1. every ring has #additive_identity, alias #zero method defined. 2. every ring has other methods defined, as required for rings in abstract algebra. An example (perhaps a stupid example) might be: class << Integer def additive_identity; 0 end alias zero additive_identity def add( other ); self + other end def additive_inverse; -self end def multiply( other ); self * other end def multiplicative_identity; 1 end end 3. That every field in Ruby has, in addition to the above methods, a method #multiplicative_inverse defined, as in: class << Float def additive_identity; 0.0 end alias zero additive_identity def add( other ); self + other end def additive_inverse; -self end def multiply( other ); self * other end def multiplicative_identity; 1.0 end alias one multiplicative_identity def multiplicative_inverse; 1.0 / self end end I am no pro mathematician, and abstract algebra first sounded to me like a kind of thing that should be treated in some specialized libraries for math nerds, but looking how Twitter pays people to write abstract algebra in Scala https://github.com/scalaz/scalaz/blob/master/core/src/main/scala/scalaz/Monoid.scala and reading posts like this one about it: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14790588/what-is-twitters-interest-in-abstract-algebra , where especially noteworthy comment is that by Randall Schulz of box.com, fourth from the top. If we actually require Ruby rings and fields to have the basic properties of rings and fields (just like Enumerable classes are required to have #each method), it would be possible to implement structured objects such as Matrices over them, and instead of intuitively using numeric literals such as 0 and 1, the matrix or another structured object would ask rings / fields, which their elements come from, what their #additive_identity (#zero), #multiplicative_identity (#one) is. And at the same time, I would like to express my wish that Matrix be made a standard part of Ruby, that does not need to be loaded by require. -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
