Group theory and generalizations Concept
Magma
Summary
A magma is a set with one binary operation and no further axioms. It is the most basic algebraic structure with a binary operation: semigroups, monoids, groups and quasigroups are magmas with extra conditions. Older texts call a magma a groupoid, a name that now usually means something else in category theory.
