In abstract algebra, a generating set of a group is a subset of that group. In that subset, every element of the group can be expressed as the combination (under the group operation) of finitely many elements of the subset and their inverses.

A cyclic group, by definition, has only one generator. An example of an infinite cyclic group is the integers with addition. This group is generated by 1.
The order of a matrix with m rows and n columns is (m, n).
N * (n-1 ) / 2
No of homo from the group zm to the group zn is gcd(m,n) No of homo from the ring zm to the ring zn is 2^(w(n)-w(n/gcd(m,n)))
If the population is of size N, then you allocate the numbers 1 to N to them: one per element of the population. Then generate random numbers in the range 1 - N. The element whose number is thrown up by the generator is in the sample. In the unlikely event that a number is repeated, you ignore the repeat and continue drawing the sample until you have the required correct number in the sample.
