Algebra is the branch of mathematics that deals with symbols (or variables) and the rules for manipulating them.
It is mainly divided into two types:
- Elementary Algebra (Taught in Schools): Deals with variables and operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and powers.
Example, x + 10 = 100, x2 - 2x + 1 = 5, and x + y = 20. - Abstract Algebra (Taught in Colleges): Deals with groups, rings, and fields instead of normal variables (representing numbers).
Why Learn Algebra

- Forms the foundation for advanced topics like calculus, coordinate geometry, and statistics.
- Used in science, engineering, economics, computer science, and data analysis.
- Helps solve real-world problems involving patterns, relationships, and unknown values.
