# Algebra Crate
A Rust library providing algebraic structures and operations, with a focus on modular arithmetic and abstract algebra concepts.

## Features
- **Modular Arithmetic**: Create custom modular number types with the `modular!` macro
- **Abstract Algebra**: Implementations of fundamental algebraic structures:
- Groups (both Abelian and Non-Abelian)
- Rings
- Fields
- Modules
- Vector Spaces
## Usage
Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
harness-algebra = "*"
```
### Modular Arithmetic
Create a new modular number type using the `modular!` macro:
```rust
use harness_algebra::{group::Group, modular, ring::Ring};
// Create a type for numbers modulo 7
modular!(Mod7, u32, 7);
let a = Mod7::new(3);
let b = Mod7::new(5);
// Addition: 3 + 5 = 8 ≡ 1 (mod 7)
let sum = a + b;
assert_eq!(sum.value(), 1);
// Multiplication: 3 * 5 = 15 ≡ 1 (mod 7)
let product = a * b;
assert_eq!(product.value(), 1);
```
### Vector Spaces
Create and manipulate vectors over any field, such as the finite field of integers modulo 7:
```rust
use harness_algebra::{vector::{Vector, VectorSpace}, ring::Field, modular};
modular!(Mod7, u32, 7);
prime_field!(Mod7);
impl Field for Mod7 {
fn multiplicative_inverse(&self) -> Self {
todo!("Implement multiplicative inverse for Mod7")
}
}
let v1 = Vector::<3, Mod7>([Mod7::new(1), Mod7::new(2), Mod7::new(3)]);
let v2 = Vector::<3, Mod7>([Mod7::new(4), Mod7::new(5), Mod7::new(6)]);
let sum = v1 + v2;
```
