The invention of algebra from the ancient world has produced many opportunities for the modern world we live in today. According to the Webster’s Dictionary‚ “algebra by definition is the part of mathematics in which letters and other symbols are used to represent numbers and quantities in formulae and equations.” First and for most‚ algebra is divided into two different groups‚ the first group being “classical algebra”‚ which is solving equations and finding the unknown variable. The second group

HISTORY OF ALGEBRA M AT H 1 WHAT IS ALGEBRA? • Denotes various kinds of mathematical ideas and techniques • more or less directly associated with formal manipulation of abstract symbols and/or with finding the solutions of an equation. HISTORICAL OBJECTIVES 1. attempts to deal with problems devoted to finding the values of one or more unknown quantities. 2. the evolution of the notion of number 3. the gradual refinement of a symbolic language THE SEARCH OF “EQUATION” • Egyptian Mathematics

(I made this when I was a freshman. I’m now a Junior.) Why do we need to learn Algebra? What’s the point of learning Algebra in the first place? After all‚ all of the math leading up to Algebra that we learned growing up such as addition‚ multiplication‚ decimals‚ fractions‚ et cetera that seems to have a concrete meaning? This concept all deals with numbers‚ in some way or another‚ and because of this we can apply it to our daily lives like calculating‚ and in our chosen career. In short

Various derivations of the word "algebra‚" which is of Arabian origin‚ have been given by different writers. The first mention of the word is to be found in the title of a work by Mahommed ben Musa al-Khwarizmi (Hovarezmi)‚ who flourished about the beginning of the 9th century. The full title is ilm al-jebr wa’l-muqabala‚ which contains the ideas of restitution and comparison‚ or opposition and comparison‚ or resolution and equation‚ jebr being derived from the verb jabara‚ to reunite‚ and muqabala

The Father of Algebra In the source‚ Shawn Overbay writes a biography on The Father of Algebra‚ Al-Khwarizmi. Overbay shows and explains the equations that Al-Khwarizmi invented and how they were used. In the source‚ the author states “Al-Khwarizmi wrote numerous books that played important roles in arithmetic and algebra” (Overbay). Not only was The Father of Algebra a mathematician‚ he was also an inventor‚ an Astronomer‚ and a Scholar. The visual source is a page from Al-Khwarizmi’s Kitab
