What is Algebra ?

Our objective with this course content is to present Algebra and its associated

concepts in an interesting and easy manner so that the school going kids can learn the subject with ease and interest.

Algebra (from Arabic al-jebr meaning "reunion of broken parts") is the branch of mathematics.........

concerning the study of the rules of operations and relations, and the constructions ........

concepts arising from them, including terms, polynomials, equations and algebraic structures.

Elementary Algebra involves simple rules and operations on numbers such as:

Addition

Subtraction

Multiplication

Division

Variables

Functions

Polynomials

Algebraic Expressions

How many types of algebra are there?

There are five main types of algebraic equations,

distinguished by the position of variables,

the types of operators and functions used, and the behavior of their graphs.

Each type of equation has a different expected input and produces an output with a different interpretation...

Monomials and polynomials are equations consisting of variable terms with whole number exponents.

Polynomials are classified by the number of terms in the expression:

Monomials have one term, binomials have two terms, trinomials have three terms.

Any expression with more than one term is called a polynomial.

Polynomials are also classified by degree, which is the number of the highest exponent in the expression.

Polynomials with degrees one, two and three are called linear, quadratic and cubic polynomials, respectively.
