List of Generators
A list of examples of generating sets follow.
- Generating set of an algebra: If A is a ring and B is an A-algebra, then S generates B if the only sub-A-algebra of B containing S is B itself.
- Generating set of a group: A set of group elements which are not contained in any subgroup of the group other than the entire group itself.
- Generating set of a ring: A subset S of a ring A generates A if the only subring of A containing S is A itself.
- Generating set of an ideal in a ring.
- A generator (category theory), in category theory, is an object that can be used to distinguish morphisms.
- In topology, a collection of sets which generate the topology is called a subbase.
- Generating set of a topological algebra: S is a generating set of a topological algebra A if the smallest closed subalgebra of A containing S is A itself.

“A man’s interest in a single bluebird is worth more than a complete but dry list of the fauna and flora of a town.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Weigh what loss your honor may sustain
If with too credent ear you list his songs,
Or lose your heart, or your chaste treasure open
To his unmastered importunity.”
