First of all, we want to define formally, what exactly shall be understood under an algebraic structure. We start with the concept of a binary operation.
A binary operation \(\ast\) on a set \(X\) ist a total function $\ast :X\times X\to X$ mapping all pairs $x,y\in X\times X$ to a specific $z\in X,$ formally $$x\ast y:=\ast (x,y)=z.$$
