Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In mathematics, an identity element (or neutral element) is a special type of element of a set with respect to a binary operation on that set. It leaves other elements unchanged when combined with them. This is used for groups and related concepts. The term identity element is often shortened to identity (as will be done in this article) when there is no possibility of confusion.
