Lecture 1
Introduction and Overview
What is Algebra?
History
Algebra is named in honor of Mohammed Ibn-eMusa al-Khowârizmî. Around 825, he
wrote a book entitled Hisb al-jabr u'l muqubalah, ("the science of reduction and
cancellation"). His book, Al-jabr, presented rules for solving equations.
Algebra is a branch of Mathematics that uses mathematical statements to describe
relationships between things that vary over time. These variables include things like the
relationship between supply of an object and its price. When we use a mathematical
statement to describe a relationship, we often use letters to represent the quantity that
varies, since it is not a fixed amount. These letters and symbols are referred to as
variables.
Algebra is a part of mathematics in which unknown quantities are found with the help of
relations between the unknown and known.
In algebra, letters are sometimes used in place of numbers.
The mathematical statements that describe relationships are expressed using algebraic
terms, expressions, or equations (mathematical statements containing letters or symbols
to represent numbers). Before we use algebra to find information about these kinds of
relationships, it is important to first introduce some basic terminology.
Algebraic Term
The basic unit of an algebraic expression is a term. In general, a term is either a product of a number and with one or more variables.
For example 4x is an algebraic term in which 4 is coefficient and x is said to be variable.
Study of Algebra
Today, algebra is the study of the properties of operations on numbers. Algebra
generalizes arithmetic by using symbols, usually letters, to represent numbers or
unknown quantities. Algebra is a problem-solving tool. It is like a tractor, which is a
