| Detailed definition |
| The word “algebra” is a distortion of the Arabic title of a treatise by al-Khwārizmī about algebraic methods. In modern usage, algebra has several meanings. One use of the word “algebra” is the abstract study of number systems and operations within them, including such advanced topics as groups, rings, invariant theory, and cohomology. This is the meaning mathematicians associate with the word “algebra.” When there is the possibility of confusion, this field of mathematics is often referred to as abstract algebra. |
