- | ==== Ramifications ==== | ||
- | === Discussion === | ||
- | |||
- | The binary operation is often called //multiplication//. | ||
- | |||
- | The axioms $*\in \mathrm{binaryOp}(X)$ above means that a monoid is closed with respect to the multiplication. | ||
- | |||
- | One generally calls $X$ the loop, i.e. the set where the operation "$*$" is defined on. | ||
