Branches of Algebra
Elementary algebra introduces symbolic manipulation, equations, and polynomials. Linear algebra studies vectors, matrices, and linear mappings across finite and infinite-dimensional spaces.
Abstract algebra generalizes arithmetic into axiomatic systems such as groups, rings, and fields. These structures power modern cryptography, coding theory, and computational mathematics.
Advanced branches include algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, and algebraic number theory, where algebraic methods explain geometric and arithmetic phenomena at research depth.
