The name Algebra (from Arabic: اÙجبر, al-jabr) is derived from the treatise written by the Persian mathematician Muḥammad ibn MÅ«sÄ al-ḴwÄrizmÄ« titled Al-Kitab al-Jabr wa-l-Muqabala (meaning "The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing"), which provided symbolic operations for the systematic solution of linear and quadratic equations. It is a branch of mathematics concerning the study of structure, relation and quantity. Elementary algebra is often taught in secondary education and gives an introduction to the basic ideas of algebra: studying what happens when numbers are added or multiplied, and how to make polynomials and find their roots.
Algebra is much broader than elementary algebra and can be generalized. Rather than working directly with numbers, one can work with symbols, variables, or elements of some set. Addition and multiplication are viewed as general operations, and their precise definitions lead to structures such as groups, rings and fields.
Together with geometry and analysis, algebra is one of the three main branches of mathematics.

Equations that I had to learn to do on my own because my grammer school was that far behind the times. Also something I took in college and finished the class in 3 weeks (it was a 18 week course).
