Question

what is algebra ?who made it?

Answer 1

Algebra is the branch of math dealing with symbols and the rules for manipulating those symbols........ diphontas and al-khwarizimi made it

Answer 2

Algebra (from Arabic "al-jabr", literally meaning "reunion of broken parts") is one of the broad parts of mathematics, together with number theory, geometryand analysis. In its most general form, algebra is the study of mathematical symbols and the rules for manipulating these symbols;it is a unifying thread of almost all of mathematics. It includes everything from elementary equation solving to the study of abstractions such as groups, rings, and fields. The more basic parts of algebra are called elementary algebra; the more abstract parts are called abstract algebra or modern algebra. Elementary algebra is generally considered to be essential for any study of mathematics, science, or engineering, as well as such applications as medicine and economics. Abstract algebra is a major area in advanced mathematics, studied primarily by professional mathematicians.

Credit is usually given to either Diophantus (3rd century AD, Alexandria) or Muhammed al-Khwarizmi (c. 780-850, Baghdad - though born in the region of Khwarizm in what was northern Persia). Al-Khwarizmi gives us the word "algebra" from his book Al-kitab al-muhtasar fi hisab al-Jabr wa-l-muqabala. "Al-Jabr" translates as something like "completing" or "restoring" and refers to the method of removing a negative from one side and adding the positive to the other, for example 3x+2=4−2x3x+2=4−2x converts to 5x+2=45x+2=4.
