a branch of Mathematics in which you use letters as well as figures

A branch of mathematics in which variables are substituted for unknown values to solve a particular problem.

This term, which means "the science of equations" in English--and which conjures up fear in the hearts of most fifth and sixth graders--comes from the title of one of al-Khowarizmi's (s [..]

Algebra is the branch of mathematics where symbols or letters are used to represent numbers.

a branch of mathematics that uses symbols or letters to represent variables, values or numbers, which can then be used to express operations and relationships and to solve equations

Algebra is the branch of mathematics that uses letters, symbols, and/or characters to represent numbers and express mathematical relationships. Those symbols are called <b>variables</b>.

A branch of mathematics. Originally (and still in high school context), it refers to the art of calculating with unknown quantities, represented by letters. Modern algebra has expanded this to manipul [..]

<mathematics, logic> 1. A loose term for an algebraic structure. 2. A vector space that is also a ring, where the vector space and the ring share the same addition operation and are related in certain other ways. An example algebra is the set of 2x2 matrices with real numbers as entries, with the usual operations of addition and matrix multip [..]
