Algebra is a branch of Mathematics, which was originated by an early Muslim mathematician “Muhammad Bin Musa Al-Khwarizmi”. He wrote a book on algebra “Al Jabar-wa-Al-Muqabalah”. The word algebra has been taken from the title of this book. “Al Jabar”. In arithmetic we deal with specific numbers …,-2,-1,0,1,2,… while in algebra we deal with number as well as letters of the alphabets a,b,c,…,x,y,z,… where alphabets represent unspecified numbers. The same basic operations of arithmetic +, -, x, / are also used in algebra.
