Algebras

/ˈælɡəbrəz/ noun

Definition

Plural of algebra; multiple systems, branches, or types of algebra in mathematics.

Etymology

Standard English plural of algebra, simply adding '-s.' Different algebras refer to various mathematical systems like linear algebra, Boolean algebra, or group algebra.

Kelly Says

Modern mathematics actually has many different 'algebras'—systems with their own rules—so mathematicians discovered their subject wasn't unique but rather one example of a broader pattern!
