Algebra Mastery

Algebra is the study of variables and the rules for manipulating these variables in formulas; it is a unifying thread of almost all of mathematics.

Elementary algebra deals with the manipulation of variables (commonly represented by Roman letters) as if they were numbers and is therefore essential in all applications of mathematics.

Abstract algebra is the study of algebraic structures such as groups, rings, and fields.
