It is used in science and proofs of proofs in maths, taking an example: Hypothesis: Bananas are red. (There exists) x x (is an element of) Red (and) Banana Banana (implies) Red (not) Red (implies) (not) Banana If a yellow banana is found, (There exists) y y(is an element of)Banana (therefore) y(is an element of) Red There is a contradiction, as the banana must be red, but it is yellow. The above is not the only use, but Boolean algebra exclusively contains symbols of (not), (and), and (or).
The order of a group is the same as its cardinality - i.e. the number of elements the set contains. The order of a particular element is the order of the (cyclic) group generated by that element - i.e. the order of the group {...a-4, a-3, a-2, a-1, e, a, a2, a3, a4...}. If these powers do not go on forever, it will have a finite order; otherwise the order will be infinite.
One example would be a Galois Field size 4 (ie GF(4)). Here, the elements are {0,1,2,3} and every element is its own additive inverse.
