algebra
Definition
- Algebra is a major branch of mathematics that, at an elementary level, involves applying the rules of arithmetic to numbers, and to letters that stand for unknown numbers, with the main aim of solving equations. Beyond the algebra learned in high school is the much vaster and more profound subject of abstract algebra. (Encyclopedia of Science, by David Darling, https://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/A/algebra.html)
