**Question:** Are there intuitive ways to introduce cohomology? Pretend you're talking to a high school student; how could we use pictures and easy (even trivial!) examples to illustrate cohomology? **Why do I care:** For a number of math kids I know, doing algebraic topology is fine until we get to homology, and...
How to prove that in every power of 3, with natural exponent, the tens digit is an even number? (For example, 3 ^ 5 = 243, 4 is even.)
A and B are finite groups. $H \unlhd A \times B$. Can we find some $C \unlhd A$, $D \unlhd B$ such that $H \cong C \times D$? I can prove it for abelian A and B. In case the statement is not true: is it true under further assumptions about A and B, such as solvablity, nilpotency, etc?

Here is a problem from Griffith's book Introduction to E&M.

Intuition in algebra?
It seems you have a kind of geometrical intuition. If that's the case, why don't you construct geometrical representations of the algebraic entities you encounter? Have you had any representation theory till now? If not, that might help you figure out why algebra is "important" or why anyone, even outside the field of ...

Trevor, you are confusing what is generally thought of as "Proof by cases", and a search for an example that proceeds by narrowing the possibilities/examining different cases.

Let $L \subseteq M$ be A-modules and let $\mathfrak{p}$ be an associated prime of $M/L$ and assume that the annihilator of $L$ is not contained in $\mathfrak{p}$. How would one go about proving that $\mathfrak{p}$ is an associated prime of $M$?
Recall that $\mathfrak p$ being an associated prime of $M/L$ precisely means that $\mathfrak p$ is a prime ideal which is the annihilator of some element of $M/L$. If we think what this means in terms of the module $M$, it means that we can find an element $m \in M$ such that $\mathfrak p = \{a \in A \,| \, a m \in ...
