and rings (discussed in some detail in some fundamental mathematical definitions ). Historically, the abstract structures emerged as generalizations from concrete instances. For instance, there are important analogies between the set of all integers and the set of all polynomials with rational (for example) coefficients, which are brought out by the fact that both sets are examples of algebraic structures known as Euclidean domains. If one has a good understanding of Euclidean domains, one can apply this understanding to integers and polynomials. This highlights a contrast that appears in many branches of mathematics, namely the distinction between general, abstract statements and particular, concrete ones. One algebraist might be thinking about groups, say, in order to understand a particular rather complicated group of symmetries, while another might be interested in the general theory of groups on the grounds that they are a fundamental class of mathematical objects. The development of abstract algebra from its concrete beginnings is discussed in the origins of modern algebra . A supreme example of a theorem of the first kind is the insolubility of the quintic —the result that there is no formula for the roots of a quintic polynomial in terms of its coefficients. One proves this theorem by analyzing symmetries associated with the roots of a polynomial, and understanding the group that these symmetries form. This concrete example of a group (or rather, class of groups, one for each polynomial) played a very important part in the development of the abstract theory of groups. As for the second kind of theorem, a good example is the classification of finite simple groups , which describes the basic building blocks out of which any finite group can be built. Algebraic structures appear throughout mathematics, and there are many applications of algebra to other areas, such as number theory, geometry, and even mathematical physics.

contrast to geometry and analysis. The division into main branches creates an accessible overview and is well-supported by the sources. The more specific topics can be addressed in this layout without the need for separate main sections for each of the algebraic structures studied in algebra graduate courses. I think the history section is balanced as it is. A dramatic expansion of the last 2 centuries to focus on the more advanced topics while reducing everything else would overemphasize recent discoveries. The earlier developments may seem simple from our point of view but they were important in leading to where we are now and that development is exactly what the history section is about. The applications section has currently about 1000 words. Expanding it 20 times would be 20000 words for a single section. This would be way too long even if our article was exclusively dedicated to applications of algebra, see

articles on more narrow topics. Rather than flood the article with new and overlapping branch-sections, I would advocate a more subtle approach. Many of the applications of group theory are already discussed in the subsection "Applications#Other branches of mathematics", including the Rubik's Cube group you mentioned. I added some of the additional applications you suggested and also took a small step in the direction of mentioning theorems of group theory. This is probably not exactly what you had in mind but I hope it is a step in the direction you intended. I'll see if I can find ways to work more of the suggestions into the text.
1119:). That this article should exist at all is non-obvious and controversial—as the definition and history sections say, there are different interpretations of what "algebra" is. Elementary/symbolic algebra is used in every field of maths and by "algebra" laypeople often refer to notation rather than concept. "Abstract" algebra is a better-defined field of maths but one of the broadest, and one that overlaps with unexpected fields. Nonetheless, I think there is enough of a connection between elementary and abstract algebra that there is an encyclopedia article in it, not just a dictionary definition or a disambiguation page to 5313:. Later in the introduction, under "I.3 Some Fundamental Mathematical Definitions", we have "2 Four Important Algebraic Structures" in which several pages are spent on Groups, Fields, Vector Spaces, Rings, and then "3 Creating New Structures Out of Old Ones" which goes another several pages, then "4 Functions between Algebraic Structures" which is another several pages. All of the material in these subsections is directly relevant to this topic and should be covered in enough detail in this article to give readers appropriate context. I don't think it can effectively fit in your current classification. – 558:). The discussion of the application of algebra to other fields should probably also get some more details, like the algebraization of mathematics (such as geometry, number theory, and topology) and logic. Various smaller adjustments would be needed for the different topics discussed in the article but they can be addressed later. I was hoping to get some feedback on these ideas and possibly other suggestions. I still have to do some research to work out the details. After that, I would start implementing them one at a time but it will probably take a while to address all the points. 4845:
focus on advanced topics encountered in undergraduate and graduate studies. If this should be the scope of the article then, I agree, it is too brief about many of the advanced topics. However, this article is written for the general public, including high school students taking basic algebra classes, not just for mathematicians. This is why I think the article should try to cover both the basic and the advanced algebra. In this case, we don't have the space to go into all the advanced details and have to be picky about which of the more advanced topics we explain.

various types) is fundamental to essentially all areas of mathematics (not to mention other technical disciplines), and there are huge portions of mathematics which would be classified as directly "part" of algebra but which are currently unmentioned or barely mentioned on this page. I would recommend eliminating an explicit applications section, and dramatically expand the portions of the article talking about different types of algebra, including enough context to explain what they are actually about, not just nominally mentioning them in passing. –
1787:"Elementary algebra has applications in many branches of mathematics, the sciences, business, and everyday life" and "Because of its presence throughout mathematics, the influence of algebra extends to many sciences and related fields" – To spell out every 'application' of 'algebra' would be a neverending task, but I feel that "In various fields" could be renamed "Applications" with an introductory section or a subsection beginning with these ideas. It might say that algebraic notation and terminology is used in science (e.g. 2492:"A key principle guiding this process is that whatever is done to one side of an equation also needs to be done to the other side of the equation." – Again I'm not sure whether this needs limiting to equations as this is also broadly what is done with inequations too (though multiplying and dividing by non-positives can break things). "whatever is done" might also more formally be "whatever (algebraic) operation is applied" (you can't "do" things like "append a '3' digit to the end of each number" and keep balance). 5328:
computing, with this IMO not-very-useful-to-computing-students chapter on "algebra"; one book for teachers about high-school level algebra; one advice book for undergraduate math majors of which the part you linked is supposed to be a summary of the Mathematics Subject Classification, and the preface of an introductory college algebra book; I understand these are just being invoked as arbitrary examples, but I don't personally think any of these seems like a good source about how to classify the parts of algebra).
364: 532:). The better solution would probably be to convert this section into a Definition section that explains the main meaning of the topic of the article (roughly as a branch of mathematics that covers areas like elementary algebra, linear algebra, abstract algebra, and universal algebra) and then clarifies to the reader that there are also other ways how the term is used (for example, for specific subareas or for specific algebraic structures). This way, we have the disambiguation and hopefully do not violate 354: 333: 300: 2010:. So starting with a definition would definitely be preferable. What do you think about talking of algebraic structures instead of algebraic systems. Algebaric structures can be defined without reference to algebra. The sentence could be: "Algebra is the branch of mathematics that studies algebraic structures and the manipulation of equations within those structures." If the focus on equations is too narrow, we could replace it with "statements" or "algebraic expressions". 5122:
the section "Abstract algebra" cover the part on polynomial rings, which also belongs to ring theory? This is not ideal but it's probably the best fit. Given that this is a wide-scope overivew article, I would also suggest that we do not use any internal subsections and subsubsections for the section "Polynomials" so we just restrict ourselves to a few paragraphs to cover the most important points we can fit in there and leave the rest to child articles.
445: 5169:, but we have other sources that imply exactly the contrary. So, we have to decide what is the most common opinion of mathematicians. Here we have a subject classification elaborated by the whole mathematical community and two major treatises on algebra written by well known mathematicians that are the subject dedicated Knowledge articles (there are also reliable sources asserting that these books are highly influential; see 21: 93: 4391: 4852:, which are called "Algebra" but focus on advanced algebra. For example, Lang's book corresponds to a "one-year course in algebra, at the graduate level" (Lang 2002 p. v) and presupposes knowledge of "vector spaces, linear maps, matrices" and polynomials (Lang 2002 p. xii). A better source for the purpose of scope might be Pratt 2022, which gives an overview encompassing both the basic and the advanced. 3586: 291: 4386: 949: 875: 799: 721: 222: 141: 4960:, there is consensus that making this difficult topic accessible to the general reader is a key strength of the article. Focusing on the advanced aspects of topics, which are of interest primarily to mathematicians, is a problem for many of our math articles. If we followed the road of reducing basics and expanding on advanced topics, we may end up making the article worse, not better. 4941:. This is only an example of lacking information, which could be also interesting to readers that are not mathematicians. There is much other lacking information. In particular several of the items mentioned above by Jacobolus must be mentioned in this section, with comments explaining the relations between them and with linear algebra, and links to the relevant articles. 4359: 4351: 4322: 4302: 4291: 4262: 4251: 3472: 4594:, this article is very imcomplete. It is also misleading by giving a undue weigth to universal algebra, which is a minor branch that is almost never used outside itself and does not contain any notable theorem. On the other hand, most major branches of algebra are unduely mentioned in passing only, without any mention of their major achievements. 994: 920: 844: 767: 5253:. It's not so clear how universal algebra fits into that picture. It's sometimes characterized as a branch in addition to abstract algebra but depending on how broad we characterize abstract algebra to be, we could also include universal algebra in it. In this case, we could turn it into a subsubsection of the subsection "Abstract algebra". 5386:– yes that's fine, and you're right that we added 1 sentence about degree ≥ 5 polynomials within the past few days (and had a sentence about it in the history section previously). But I guess the point is, I think any article about as broad a mathematical subject as this should be mentioning and putting in context a significant number of 1029: 2938:"A homomorphism is a function that... Its special feature is that..." – Can the wordiness be improved? Most of the key information is conveyed in the following sentences. I would just replace these two sentences with "A homomorphism is a function from one set to another that preserves some of the algebraic structure". 5271:
and pull out the ones which are part of algebra. The problem with "elementary / linear / abstract" algebra" is that huge parts of modern mathematics get shoved into on tiny section which cannot be written/organized clearly to make them comprehensible to readers. What you are basically doing with this
5136:
In what I have already written, almost everything is left to linked articles, only the most important points are there. Trying to include them in the previously existing sections would make them confusing, and, overall, make difficult for most readers to find easily what they are looking for (looking

I don't think we should assume that everyone knows what exactly it means to solve a system of linear equations. If this article was intended for a math encyclopedia rather than a general encyclopedia, I would agree with your suggestions to reduce the basics and expand on the advanced topics. However,

Under the Linear algebra section the example coefficient matrix has an error on the third column second row, where it is entered as 9 but the system of linear equations above states that the corresponding element should be 7, as that is the coefficient of x3 in the second equation, a bit of a nitpick

The resulting section must contain something like "the study of algebraic structures in general is often called "abstract algebra" in the educational world". The mention of universal algebra must be reduced to a few lines, and categories must appear here

5121:
Thanks for making the effort to express this in an accessible way. I'm not sure that we should have this as a separate main branch of algebra since its topics belong to other branches already mentioned. What do you think about turning it into a subsection of the section "Elementary algebra" and have
4908:
I don't claim that our article must exclude advanced algebra and I join you in disagreeing with this claim. The article already covers various aspects of it and I'm not opposed to some form of expansion on the advanced math side. We can't go too much into depth and have to leave the details to child
4870:
I understand this as asserting that the scope of our article "algebra" must exclude what you call "avanced algebra". I strongly disagree: following the general rules of Knowledge, the scope of the article is everything that is commonly called algebra. The whole content of Lang's book is algebra, but
1565:
Yes, that addresses identities/conditional equations. On "formula": the article mentions the word twice ("examines how formulas may be transformed" and "making it possible to express equations as mathematical formulas") but doesn't define it. It might be better just to avoid using this word. To some

More specifically, I'm not a big fan of sections called "Introduction" since this title only indicates the intended purpose of the section but not the content. The current title is much more descriptive. The section already contrasts algebra and arithmetic but I'm not opposed to also mentioning the

We have sources that the first four subsection of the section "Major branches" are indeed major branches. As far as I'm aware, the term "Polynomials" is usually not understood as a name of a major branch of Algebra in addition to what we already have here. It's not up to us to decide how Algebra is
4963:
I'm not sure what you mean by "lacks essential information, such that the existence of methods for solving completely any linear system". As far as I'm aware, the methods of Gauss–Jordan elimination and LU decomposition, mentioned in the paragraph starting with "Many techniques employed...", can be
4683:
I broadly agree with D.Lazard that the current article does not really fairly represent the breadth of "algebra". (I would not personally consider it to be close to a "good article" by Knowledge standards, just based on current scope.) Adding stub sections seems fine, as a target to be fleshed out,
4414:
Stop misappropriating facts and history. The Arabs did nothing more than translate and preserve texts and did not add a line to the body of already known mathematical theories.  Basic roots of Algebra can be traced to Diophantus and Theon and Algebra is derived from the word Algorithms, it is so

Looks good! Article was nominated within 7 days of achieving Good Article status. Article is over 1500 words of prose. I found no problems with sourcing. Earwig picked up an unlikely violation of 23.1%. AGF on print sources. ALT2 seems to be the most accessible to people since ALT0 and ALT1 rely on
1998:
The main difficulty I see is to find a definition that covers the different branches of algebra. I think your first suggestions does a good job at that. One difficulty may be that it is too wide since algebra does not study all abstract mathematical objects. For example, proofs can be understood as

In principle yes, but I'm not sure that there is an easy answer to this. For the Mathematics Subject Classification, the answer would be quite messy and probably not particularly useful to the reader. Does the Dewey Decimal Classification provide a precise definition of each of its branches or does
5296:
The word “algebra,” when it denotes a branch of mathematics, means something more specific than manipulation of symbols and a preference for equalities over inequalities. Algebraists are concerned with number systems, polynomials, and more abstract structures such as groups, fields, vector spaces,

My impression is that these scope-disagreements arises from what we understand with the term "algebra". Some mathematicians use the term to refer primarily to abstract or modern algebra in contrast to elementary or classical algebra. This would exclude most of the algebra taught in school and only

and indeed there could probably be more such sections. Some existing sections should perhaps be shortened. An incomplete list of topics off the top of my head which are not currently mentioned, or barely mentioned, but should perhaps be discussed more seriously and put into better context, include

Now, after the acceptance of the finding of the two Greek mathematicians and the publication, after a crisis, in one of the strictest journals in the field, in the Japanese SCIAMVS (14, 2013 41-57), we can say that now they will probably be traced to different direction the basic roots of Algebra.
1928:
I'm not sure how formal it is to use phrases like "algebra is interested in", "algebra studies" etc. as if it is sentient. Alternatives would be that algebra "encompasses", "includes", "comprises" etc. This is a pattern from top to bottom e.g. "It aims to familiarize students" could be "Educators

Thanks for the suggestions. I have problems seeing in what sense they would lead to overall improvements. Generally speaking, I fear the attempt to rewrite this article to fit the Mathematics Subject Classification and target the scope of graduate algebra courses is misguided since Knowledge is a

I have started to complete the article. For the moment I have written only the (subsub)section devoted to polynomial equations. IMO, this is an example of the style that must be used in this article. This shows also that problems that occupied algebraists during centuries can be summarized if few

Concerning the added stub sections: many of these topics are already discussed in the article, so adding them again as new sections would cause a lot of overlap. For example, the section "Abstract algebra" already discusses groups. Group theory is usually understood as part of abstract algebra so

I'm happy that almost all of these have been addressed, with a reply on the points about formulas, the Dewey Decimal Classification and the first sentence. None of these are dealbreakers if you prefer the status quo. I've also added a subsection commenting on references and one point on images. —

Some of the topics in it are quite relevant (like linear algebra and universal algebra) and should probably be discussed somewhere in the prose of another section rather than in the form of disconnected list items. The most important remaining links could be moved to the "See also" section. 5699:– yes, it is descriptive of the content currently there, but I don't think the current content makes a very good introductory section and am proposing changing what is written there at which point the title would no longer be appropriate, but what to title this section isn't really important. 5327:

In "Education", can there be some treatment of the psychology of algebra or the reason it is deferred until secondary education? For instance, it might be that algebra is too abstract until a certain maturity or prerequisite knowledge/skills—I don't know if there's some model like

Good idea, I added a similar example. I considered having separate subsections for the applications of algebra to different mathematical fields but my impression was that this would lead too much into details and is better covered in separate articles, like

The the Princeton Companion to Mathematics could be a helpful source for that, I'll look through the sections you mentioned. 4997:. But it's possible that your suggestion would work as well. I'll try to include some of your proposed expansions in the article but I'm not sure that a dramatic expansion is the right way to go. 3255:"The mass of some weights" – Maybe this is just me but the mixture of "mass" and "weight" is confusing. A weighing scale moves according to weight, right, so I'd say "the weight of some objects"? 5418:
seems completely inadequate to be the extent of the discussion on this article; ring theory should be a whole section, explaining the purpose, context, main results, and relation to other topics.

The division into elementary, linear, and abstract algebra is quite common; the sources I gave are only a small sample. Most people only ever get in contact with elementary and linear algebra.

The Mathematics Subject Classification does not explicitly subdivide algebra into branches. Interpreting it ourselves to arrive at a subdivision would involve

Done. This topic is a little difficult to properly cover since most sources only talk about specific applications rather than the general overall influence.

Thanks for the in-depth review and all the helpful and actionable comments. I tried to address all the points and look forward to hearing your responses.

True, that can be confusing. I kept the term mass since the examples usually focus on the mass of objects rather than the forces acting on those objects.
