TOPIC: PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS OF ALGEBRA

ABSTRACT:
Algebra means 'reunion of broken parts’,bone setting' is one of
the broad areas of mathematics. Roughly speaking, algebra is the study of
mathematical symbols and the rules for manipulating these symbols in formulas; it
is a unifying thread of almost all of mathematics.Elementary algebra deals with the
manipulation of variables as if they were numbers (see the image), and is therefore
essential in all applications of mathematics. Abstract algebra is the name given in
education to the study of algebraic structures such as groups, rings, and fields.
Linear algebra, which deals with linear equations and linear mappings, is used for
modern presentations of geometry, and has many practical applications (in weather
forecasting, for example). There are many areas of mathematics that belong to
algebra, some having "algebra" in their name, such as commutative algebra and
some not, such as Galois theory.
The word algebra is not only used for naming an area of mathematics and some
subareas; it is also used for naming some sorts of algebraic structures, such as an
algebra over a field, commonly called an algebra. Sometimes, the same phrase is
used for a subarea and its main algebraic structures; for example, Boolean algebra
and a Boolean algebra. A mathematician specialized in algebra is called an
algebraist.
Abstract algebra was developed in the 19th century, deriving from the interest in
solving equations, initially focusing on what is now called Galois theory, and on
constructibility issues. George Peacock was the founder of axiomatic thinking in
arithmetic and algebra. Augustus De Morgan discovered relation algebra in his
Syllabus of a Proposed System of Logic. Josiah Willard Gibbs developed an algebra
of vectors in three-dimensional space, and Arthur Cayley developed an algebra of
matrices (this is a non commutative algebra).
