    • times

      G times(G that)
      Returns the product of this object with the one specified.
      Parameters:
      that - the object multiplier.
      Returns:
      this · that.

    • inverse

      G inverse()
      Returns the multiplicative inverse of this object. It it the object such as this.times(this.inverse()) == ONE , with ONE being the multiplicative identity.
      Returns:
