Concept in Definition ABC

By the term algebraic, we mean anything relative or pertaining to algebra, one of the fundamental parts of the math.

Algebra, along with geometry, combinatorics, mathematical analysis and theory numbers, is that fundamental part of mathematics that focuses and deals with the study of structures, relationships and quantities.

The term has an Arabic origin that is due especially to the work that the Persian mathematician Muhammad ibn Musa al-Jwarizmi exposed in a treaty which bore his signature and which provided various symbolic operations for the solution systematics of quadratic and linear equations and that purpose he was one of the first in this regard.

Elementary algebra is the most basic form that algebra presents and unlike what happens for example with the arithmetic, which only uses numbers in its operations, in algebra the numbers will be represented by symbols, for example a, b, x, among the most recurrent, being some of the main causes of this use the following: that facilitate the formulation of a general type of arithmetic laws, that allow referring to unknown numbers, formulating equations and studying how to solve them and because it facilitates the formulation of relationships functional.

Algebra mainly uses symbols and signs, generally used in set theory, and their letters will be called variables.

For example, the + sign is used in addition to to indicate the addition operation. to express binary operations, c or k, to refer constant terms, the first letters of the alphabet to express quantities known, the last letters to represent unknowns, the n to refer to any number and the exponents and subscripts to express quantities of the same species and of different magnitude.
