I had initially intended to use "AlgebraicFoo" as the naming convention for the various Foo algebraic structures. However, "algebraic group" has a distinct meaning so "AlgebraicGroup" would be a confusing name to someone with familiarity with abstract algebra terms. As a placeholding, I went with "MathFoo" instead, but I'm open to a different naming convention. This was intended to evoke with Wikipedia-style "Ring_(mathematics)" name. I avoid the simple terms like "Group", "Ring", and "Field", since types with those names included in java.lang would conflict with existing types with those names. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/valhalla/pull/1957#issuecomment-3792109435
