	What Is Algebra?
		Elementary Algebra that follows the study of arithmetic is mostly occupied with operations on sets of whole and rational numbers and solving first and second order equations.
		What puts elementary algebra a step ahead of elementary arithmetic is a systematic use of letters to denote generic numbers.
		Mastering of elementary algebra which is often hailed as a necessary preparatory step for the study of Calculus, is as often an insurmountable block in many a career.

	Algebra \| World of Mathematics
		Elementary algebra is concerned with expressing problems in terms of mathematical symbols and establishing general rules for the combination and manipulation of those symbols.
		There is another type of algebra, however, called abstract algebra, which is a further generalization of elementary algebra, and often bears little resemblance to arithmetic.
		Algebra was popularized in the early ninth century by Al-Khowarizmi, an Arab mathematician, and the author of the first algebra book, Al-jabr wa'l Muqabalah, from which the English word algebra is derived.

	algebra. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Algebra is a generalization of arithmetic and gains much of its power from dealing symbolically with elements and operations (such as addition and multiplication) and relationships (such as equality) connecting the elements.
		Much of classical algebra is concerned with finding solutions to equations or systems of equations, i.e., finding the roots, or values of the unknowns, that upon substitution into the original equation will make it a numerical identity.
		Among the important concepts of modern algebra are those of a matrix and of a vector space.

	Elementary algebra - Gurupedia
		Elementary algebra is the most basic form of algebra taught to students who are presumed to have no knowledge of mathematics beyond the basic principles of arithmetic.
		numbers and their arithmetical operations occur, in algebra one also uses symbols (such as a, x, y) to denote numbers.
		After some algebraic steps (not covered here), we can deduce that x = 1, however we cannot deduce what the value of y is. Try some values of x and y (which may lead to either true or false statements) to get a feel for this.
