Diagrams where paths agree

Square diagrams of functions in which the two routes from one corner to the opposite corner give the same result, and how 'preserving an operation' can be expressed by such a square, as when converting units respects adding lengths.

Utajifunza

  • Check whether the two routes around a square of functions agree for every input.
  • Express statements such as 'doubling then adding 2 equals adding 1 then doubling' as agreeing paths in a diagram.
  • Recognise maps that preserve an operation, f(a + b) = f(a) + f(b), such as converting metres to centimetres, as diagrams whose paths agree.

Fasili

  • A diagram of functions shows sets at its corners and functions as arrows between them.
  • A square diagram commutes when the two routes from the starting corner to the opposite corner give the same output for every input.

Nadharia

  • Converting metres to centimetres, x ↦ 100x, respects addition: 100(a + b) = 100a + 100b.
  • x ↦ x + 1 does not respect addition: (a + b) + 1 ≠ (a + 1) + (b + 1).
  • If two commuting squares are placed side by side, the outer rectangle they form also commutes.

Mawazo potofu ya kawaida

  • Checking that the routes agree for one input and concluding that the diagram commutes.
  • Thinking a diagram commutes just because all its arrows can be drawn.
