    Elements is the oldest extant large-scale deductive treatment of mathematics. It has proven instrumental in the development of logic and modern science, and its logical rigor was not surpassed until the 19th century. Euclid's Elements has been referred to as the most successful [a] [b] and influential [c] textbook ever written.

    There exists an element 0 in V, called the zero vector (or simply zero), such that v + 0 = v for all v in V. Inverse elements of addition: For every v in V, there exists an element −v in V, called the additive inverse of v, such that v + (−v) = 0: Distributivity of scalar multiplication with respect to vector addition: a(u + v) = au + av

    Another development is partial algebra where the operators can be partial functions. Certain partial functions can also be handled by a generalization of Lawvere theories known as "essentially algebraic theories". [6] Another generalization of universal algebra is model theory, which is sometimes described as "universal algebra + logic". [7]
