Noun

algebra (countable and uncountable, plural algebras)

1. (uncountable, mathematics) A system for computation using letters or other symbols to represent numbers, with rules for manipulating these symbols.

     Also the rule of false position, with dyuers examples not only vulgar, but some appertaynyng to the rule of Algeber.

   • 1854, George Boole, “Signs and their Laws”, in An Investigation of the Laws of Thought, on which are Founded the Mathematical Theories of Logic and Probabilities‎^[2], London: Walton and Maberly, page 37:

     Let us conceive, then, of an Algebra in which the symbols x, y, z, &c. admit indifferently of the values 0 and 1, and of these values alone.

2. (uncountable, medicine, historical, rare) The surgical treatment of a dislocated or fractured bone. Also (countable): a dislocation or fracture.

     Ne take noon hede to brynge togidere þe parties of þe boon þat is to-broken or dislocate, til viij. daies ben goon in þe wyntir, & v. in þe somer; for þanne it schal make quytture, and be sikir from swellynge; & þanne brynge togidere þe brynkis eiþer þe disiuncture after þe techynge þat schal be seid in þe chapitle of algebra.

   • 1987, John Newsome Crossley, “Latency”, in The emergence of number‎^[4], Singapore: World Scientific, →ISBN, Al-Khwarizwi, page 65:

     Algebra is used today by surgeons to mean bone-setting, i.e. the restoration of bones, and the idea of restoration is present in the mathematical context, too.

3. (uncountable, mathematics) The study of algebraic structures.
4. (countable, mathematics) A universal algebra.
5. (countable, algebra) An algebraic structure consisting of a module over a commutative ring (or a vector space over a field) along with an additional binary operation that is bilinear over module (or vector) addition and scalar multiplication.

   Synonyms: algebra over a field, algebra over a ring

   • 2018 March 23, Wikipedia contributors, “Lie algebra”, in English Wikipedia‎^[5], Wikimedia Foundation, revision 831953572:

     In mathematics, a Lie algebra (pronounced /liː/ "Lee") is a vector space ${\mathfrak {g}}$ together with a non-associative, alternating bilinear map ${\mathfrak {g}}\times {\mathfrak {g}}\rightarrow {\mathfrak {g}};(x,y)\mapsto [x,y]$, called the Lie bracket, satisfying the Jacobi identity.

6. (countable, set theory, mathematical analysis) A collection of subsets of a given set, such that this collection contains the empty set, and the collection is closed under unions and complements (and thereby also under intersections and differences).

   Synonyms: field of sets, algebra of sets

   Hypernym: ring

   Hyponym: σ-algebra

7. (countable, mathematics) One of several other types of mathematical structure.
8. (figurative) A system or process, that is like algebra by substituting one thing for another, or in using signs, symbols, etc., to represent concepts or ideas.
   • 1663, William Clark, William Hugh Logan, editor, Marciano; or, The discovery: A tragi-comedy‎^[6], Edinburgh: Reprinted for Private Circulation, published 1871, →ISBN, page 13:

Etymology

Internationalism; compare English algebra. Possibly borrowed from German Algebra, French algèbre, or Spanish álgebra, ultimately from Medieval Latin algebra, from Arabic الْجَبْر‎ (al-jabr) “reunion”, “resetting of broken parts”, used in the title of al-Khwarizmi’s influential work الْكِتَاب الْمُخْتَصَر فِي حِسَاب الْجَبْر وَالْمُقَابَلَة (al-kitāb al-muḵtaṣar fī ḥisāb al-jabr wa-l-muqābala, “the compendious book on restoration and equating like with like”). First attested in 1654–1676.
