    "Al-Jabr" Meaning "Reunion of Broken Parts" Is One of The Broad Parts

    Algebra is a broad area of mathematics that includes the study of mathematical symbols and the rules for manipulating them. It is considered essential for fields like mathematics, science, and engineering. Algebra has two main branches: elementary algebra, which involves solving equations and is necessary for most mathematical studies, and abstract algebra, which is more advanced and studied by professional mathematicians. Much early work in algebra was done in the Near East by mathematicians such as al-Khwārizmī and Omar Khayyam. Elementary algebra differs from arithmetic in its use of symbols like letters to represent unknown values, allowing for more general solutions of equations and expressions of formulas.

    Algebra (from Arabic "al-jabr" meaning "reunion of broken parts" is one of the broad parts

    of mathematics, together with number theory, geometry and analysis. In its most general form,
    algebra is the study of mathematical symbols and the rules for manipulating these symbols; it is a
    unifying thread of almost all of mathematics. As such, it includes everything from elementary
    equation solving to the study of abstractions such as groups, rings, and fields. The more basic parts
    of algebra are called elementary algebra, the more abstract parts are called abstract algebra or
    modern algebra. Elementary algebra is generally considered to be essential for any study of
    mathematics, science, or engineering, as well as such applications as medicine and economics.
    Abstract algebra is a major area in advanced mathematics, studied primarily by professional
    mathematicians. Much early work in algebra, as the Arabic origin of its name suggests, was done in
    the Near East, by mathematicians such as al-Khwrizm (780 850) and Omar Khayyam (1048
    1131).
    Elementary algebra differs from arithmetic in the use of abstractions, such as using letters to stand
    for numbers that are either unknown or allowed to take on many values. For example, in the
    letter is unknown, but the law of inverses can be used to discover its value: . In , the letters and are
    variables, and the letter is a constant, the speed of light. Algebra gives methods for solving
    equations and expressing formulas that are much easier than the older method of writing everything
    out in words.
    The word algebra is also used in certain specialized ways. A special kind of mathematical object in
    abstract algebra is called an "algebra", and the word is used, for example, in the phrases linear
    algebra and algebraic topology.
