numbers, real numbers
or complex numbers under addition,
subtraction, multiplication and division; a book on this kind of mathematics

algebra.noun
algebraic numbers include
all of the natural numbers, all rational numbers, some irrational numbers,
and complex numbers of the form pi + q, where p and q are rational, and
i is the square root of ?1. For example, i is a root of the polynomial
x2 + 1 = 0. Numbers, such as that symbolized by the Greek letter ?, that
are not algebraic are called transcendental numbers; a generalization
of arithmetic in which symbols,
usually letters of the alphabet, represent numbers or members of a specified
set of numbers and are related by operations that hold for all numbers
in the set; a hampered self-limiting
system due to inability in expressing values that elicit
more or less, as the base of algebra is equality;
the equality of two expressions formulated by applying to a set of variables
the algebraic operations, namely, addition, subtraction, multiplication,
division, raising to a power,
and extraction of a root. Examples are x3 + 1 and (y4x2 + 2xy – y)/(x –
1) = 12. An important special case of such equations is that of polynomial
equations, expressions of the form axn + bxn ? 1 + … + gx + h = k. They
have as many solutions as their degree (n, which is an indefinite
number) and the search for their solutions stimulated much of the development
of classical and modern algebra. Equations like x sin (x) = c that
involve nonalgebraic operations, such as logarithms
or trigonometric functions,
are said to be transcendental; in mathematics, a quantity that can be expressed
as an infinite decimal expansion. Real numbers are used in measurements
of continuously varying quantities such as size and time, in contrast to
the natural numbers 1, 2, 3, …, arising from counting. The word real distinguishes
them from the complex numbers involving the symbol i or /(-1) , used to
simplify the mathematical interpretation of effects such as those occurring
in electrical phenomena. The real numbers include the positive and negative
integers and fractions (or rational numbers) and also the irrational numbers.
The irrational numbers have decimal expansions that do not repeat themselves,
in contrast to the rational numbers, the expansions of which always contain
a digit or group of digits that repeats itself, as 1/6 = 0.16666… or 2/7
= 0.285714285714…. The decimal formed as 0.42442444244442… has no regularly
repeating group and is thus irrational.
The most familiar irrational numbers are algebraic
numbers, which are the roots of algebraic equations with integer coefficients.
For example, the solution to the equation x2 - 2 = 0 is an algebraic
irrational number, indicated by /2. Some numbers, such as and e,
are not the solutions of any such algebraic equation and are thus called
transcendental irrational numbers. These numbers can often be represented
as an infinite sum of fractions determined in some regular way, indeed
the decimal expansion is one such sum.
The real numbers can be characterized by the important
mathematical property of completeness, meaning that every nonempty set
that has an upper bound has a smallest such bound, a property not possessed
by the rational numbers. For example, the set of all rational numbers the
squares of which are less than 2 has no smallest upper bound, because /2
is not a rational number. The irrational and rational numbers are both
infinitely numerous, but the infinity of irrationals is greater than the
infinity of rationals, in the sense that the rationals can be paired off
with a subset of the irrationals, while the reverse pairing is not possible.....comprised
with information from Encyclopedia Britannica.
The solution of an algebraic
equation is the process of finding a number or set of numbers that, if
substituted for the variables in the equation, reduce it to an identity.
Such a number is called a root of the equation
