How well do you know the history and importance of algebra in mathematics?

• Algebra emerged as a subfield of mathematics in the 16th or 17th century.
• Before that, mathematics was divided into arithmetic and geometry.
• Algebra includes many branches of mathematics.
• Algebraic structures such as groups, rings, and fields were formalized from objects.
• Many new fields of mathematics appeared from the second half of the 19th century.
• Algebra is used in number theory and algebraic geometry.
• The Mathematics Subject Classification includes many areas of algebra.
• Arithmetic and geometry are used in most fields of mathematics.
• Infinitesimal calculus emerged as a subfield of mathematics around the same time as algebra.
• Algebra is a fundamental tool in modern mathematics.
