Study Notes
Origin of Algebra
- The word "algebra" originates from the Arabic word "al-jabr", meaning "reunion of broken parts"
Types of Algebra
- Elementary algebra primarily deals with solving linear equations and inequalities, as well as quadratic equations
- Higher or abstract algebra is concerned with the study of algebraic structures, such as groups, rings, and fields
- Linear algebra primarily deals with the study of linear equations, vector spaces, linear transformations, and matrices
