algebra

Algebra is one of the basic building blocks to learning mathematics at a higher level.

According to Answers.com, the primary definition of algebra is "A branch of mathematics in which symbols, usually letters of the alphabet, represent numbers or members of a specified set and are used to represent quantities and to express general relationships that hold for all members of the set." Within algebra, there are several categories within the discipline, including elementary algebra, abstract algebra, linear algebra, universal algebra, algebraic number theory, algebraic geometry, and algebraic combinatorics.

There are many resources available online that can help people of all ages learn algebra. These include Algebra.com, Algebra.help, and Gamequarium's Math Games.
