Language of Instruction:English|Category: Mathematics: 5th-8th grade
Algebra is the science of variables. It enables us to deal with large bodies of data by identifying variables (quantities which change in value) and by imposing or finding structures within the data.
Tradition of Algebra, one of the most intriguing branches of Mathematics, dates back to 539 BC. From ancient Babylonians in 6th century BC to Diophantus of Alexandria’s famous work ‘Arithmetica’ in 1st century AD to Muhammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī work ‘The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing’ in 8th century AD, Mathematicians around the world have continued to use Algebra for understanding and explaining real world phenomena. Now, Algebra is an important branch of Mathematics and important for students looking to pursue studies in science, engineering or technology.
