Galois Theory
The additive identity is a unique element in a mathematical structure, particularly in the context of fields, which when added to any element does not change the value of that element. In most number systems, the additive identity is represented by zero (0). This property is crucial as it ensures that every element within the structure has an associated identity, allowing for consistent operations and algebraic manipulation.
congrats on reading the definition of additive identity. now let's actually learn it.
