Algebraic Structures: An Overview

Abstract algebra is the study of specific algebraic structures and their properties.
Universal algebra studies algebraic structures in general and classifies them into varieties, quasivarieties, and nonvarieties.
Algebraic structures appear in most branches of mathematics and are studied in many different ways.
Algebraic structures can use any number of sets and any number of axioms in their definition.
The most commonly studied structures involve one or two sets and one or two binary operations.
The structures are organized based on how many sets and binary operations are involved with increased indentation indicating a more exotic structure.
One set with no binary operations is the most basic structure.
The most common structure involving one binary operation on one set is that of a group, while other structures involve weakening or strengthening the axioms for groups and may use unary operations.
Ring-like structures or ringoids and lattice-like structures or lattices are the main types of structures with one set having two binary operations.
The following module-like structures have two sets, A and B, with at least three binary operations.
Algebra-like structures are defined over two sets, a ring R and an R-module M equipped with an operation called multiplication.
Some algebraic structures find applications in disciplines such as Physics, Mathematical Logic, and Computer Science.
