19 lut 2023 · Offering a clear explanation of algebra through theory and example, Higgins shows how equations lead to complex numbers, matrices, groups, rings, and fields.--. Includes bibliographical references (pages 139-140) and index.
We can trace the history of algebra over the entire 4000 years of recorded mathematics, even if algebra as a subject is noticeably younger. However, the advent of abstract algebra is fairly recent. Students often feel that this subject has no apparent connection to the familiar high school algebra.
22 paź 2015 · Algebra: A Very Short Introduction explains algebra from scratch. Over the course of ten chapters, it offers a step by step approach for readers keen on developing their understanding of algebra.
13 sty 2006 · This paper offers an epistemological reconstruction of the historical development of algebra from al-Khwārizmī, Cardano, and Descartes to Euler, Lagrange, and Galois.
This book does not aim to give an exhaustive survey of the history of algebra up to early modern times, but merely to present some significant steps in solving equations and, wherever applicable, to link these develop-

Algebra as a proper eld of mathematics can be traced to the end of the 16th century, but the true theory of algebra started much earlier. 2000-1600 BCE: Babylonians developed advanced arithmetical systems allowing them to do calculations via algorithms.
