2. Elementary algebra - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_algebra

   [1] Elementary algebra, also known as high school algebra or college algebra, [2] encompasses the basic concepts of algebra. It is often contrasted with arithmetic : arithmetic deals with specified numbers , [ 3 ] whilst algebra introduces variables (quantities without fixed values).

3. Calculator input methods - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculator_input_methods

   The simplest example given by Thimbleby of a possible problem when using an immediate-execution calculator is 4 × (−5). As a written formula the value of this is −20 because the minus sign is intended to indicate a negative number, rather than a subtraction, and this is the way that it would be interpreted by a formula calculator.

4. Outline of algebra - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_algebra

   Algebra is one of the main branches of mathematics, covering the study of structure, relation and quantity. Algebra studies the effects of adding and multiplying numbers , variables , and polynomials , along with their factorization and determining their roots .

   For example, quotient set, quotient group, quotient category, etc. 3. In number theory and field theory, / denotes a field extension, where F is an extension field of the field E. 4. In probability theory, denotes a conditional probability. For example, (/) denotes the probability of A, given that B occurs.

6. Algebraic operation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_operation

   Plain text, programming languages, and calculators also use a single asterisk to represent the multiplication symbol, [6] and it must be explicitly used; for example, 3x is written as 3 * x. Rather than using the ambiguous division sign (÷), [ a ] division is usually represented with a vinculum , a horizontal line, as in ⁠ 3 / x + 1 ⁠ .

7. Algebraic expression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_expression

   In mathematics, an algebraic expression is an expression built up from constants (usually, algebraic numbers) variables, and the basic algebraic operations: addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (×), division (÷), whole number powers, and roots (fractional powers).

8. List of open-source software for mathematics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open-source...

   The primary difference between a computer algebra system and a traditional calculator is the ability to deal with equations symbolically rather than numerically. The precise uses and capabilities of these systems differ greatly from one system to another, yet their purpose remains the same: manipulation of symbolic equations .

9. Algebra - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebra

   Algebra is the branch of mathematics that studies certain abstract systems, known as algebraic structures, and the manipulation of expressions within those systems. It is a generalization of arithmetic that introduces variables and algebraic operations other than the standard arithmetic operations, such as addition and multiplication.
