Algebra is a branch of mathematics, which studies structure and quantity. It may be roughly characterized as a generalization and abstraction of arithmetic, in which operations are performed on symbols rather than numbers. It includes elementary algebra, taught to high school students, as well as abstract algebra which covers such structures as groups, rings and fields. Along with geometry and analysis, it is one of the three main branches of mathematics.
