Algebra is much broader than elementary algebra and can be generalized. Rather than working directly with numbers, one can work with symbols, variables, or elements of some set. Addition and multiplication are viewed as general operations, and their precise definitions lead to structures such as groups, rings and fields.
Together with geometry and analysis, algebra is one of the three main branches of mathematics.

Tunnel effect One dimensional quantum potential barrier. Red curve represents the wave function (real and imaginary part on y and z axis). Green curve represents square modulus (not in scale: it's dimensionally different anyway... ;-) More info coming soon. |
