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.

“Thirty—the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“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.”
