Algebra is one of the oldest areas in mathematics. It encompasses a wide range of subjects from simple algebraic equations and polynomials, to linear and abstract algebra. The study of symmetries is related to a branch of algebra called group theory. For example, the set of symmetries of a physical or geometric object form what mathematicians call a group. The study of how groups act on other mathematical objects, such as sets and vector spaces, is called representation theory.

代数是数学中最古老的领域之一。它涵盖了广泛的主题，从简单的代数方程和多项式，线性和抽象代数。对对称性的研究与代数学的一个分支有关，这个分支叫做群论。例如，一个物理或几何对象的对称性集合形成了数学家所说的群。研究群如何作用于其他数学对象，如集合和向量空间，被称为表示论。
