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。 它涵盖了从简单的代数方程和多项式到线性和抽象代数的广泛学科。对称性的研究与代数的一个分支“群论”有关。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“表示理论”。
