The history of algebra itself is broken into several sub-categories, and has been expanded upon by several hundred of the world's greatest mathematicians. Some of the sub-categories include the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, abstract linear spaces, as well as quadratic, cubic and quartic equations. Not only can Algebra be divided into sub-categories as subjects, but the groups that studied, or developed them can also categorize them. Egyptian Algebra, Babylonian Algebra, Greek Geometric Algebra, Diophantine Algebra, Hindu Algebra, Arabic Algebra, European Algebra since 1500, and modern Algebra are the most popular categories. All the different theories within Algebra each have been worked millions of times, checked and rechecked for their validity, and many have been p

Algebra is a math that teaches the student how to push boundaries. It holds no specific mold, and will continue to change as long as there are students who are willing to push the limit. What a student learns today has the potential to be proven wrong.

The symbols of inequality, "*", "*", were invented by English mathematician Thomas Harriot. Harriot worked with the ideas of fellow Englishman Recorde, and helped give Algebra its modern form that we all know today.

Around the time of the end of the 2nd World War in 1945, the growth of the use of computers began. Larger numbers and exponents began being used, and the most complex algebra began being calculated. With continued work, computer programs began getting developed which were specifically designed to read, manipulate, and output mathematical algebra formulae. Further research and advancements eventually lead to developing the ability to have graphical output. The speed and capacity of personal computers and workstations has continually been growing, and newer and better math applications have followed with these advancements. Millions of lines of codes can now be implemented at a time, and they continue to rise year after year.

The next major European influence came in the 16th century also had to do with symbols, when English mathematician Robert Recorde introduced the equality sign "=" in his work called, "Whetstone of Witte." He created the equality sign because he stated that, "no two things can be more equal", and so he used the two parallel lines of the same length to symbolize that statement. This English mathematical contribution went hand in hand with the first documented usage of the plus and minus symbols. English mathematician John Widman used these symbols in his book, "Arithmetic." Although Widman was the first documented user of these symbols, they were not often used in his native England until AFTER Recorde wrote his book, "Whetstone."

Rev. John Wallis was another important English mathematician. Wallis introduced the symbol that represents infinity, but is better known for helping to form the Royal Society. He is also known as being one of the earliest and most important professors of Geometry at Oxford. He wrote a "Treatise on Algebra" in 1685, which was very influential all the way through the following century and in developing modern day Algebra.

The development of algebra over the years has been a long and complicated road. It took thousands of years of study and hard work to develop the st
