While educators and policymakers debate whether 8th graders can be readied to learn algebra, Sigrid B. Frawley sits in front of her kindergartners with a magic bag. She puts three tokens in the bag ...

Commutative algebra and algebraic geometry form a deeply interwoven field that investigates the structure of polynomial rings, their ideals, and the geometric objects defined by these algebraic sets.

Algebra is the discipline of pure mathematics that is concerned with the study of the abstract properties of a set, once this is endowed with one or more operations that respect certain rules (axioms) ...

Several fields of mathematics have developed in total isolation, using their own 'undecipherable' coded languages. Mathematicians now present 'big algebras,' a two-way mathematical 'dictionary' ...
