ALGEBRA

The “Father of Algebra” is Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi . He was a Persian

Mathematician who wrote the Arabic book Kitab Al Muhtasar fi Hisab Al Gabar Wa
Mugabala later translated as the “ Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and
Balancing” from which the word Algebra was derived. The book explain how to solve linear
and quadratic equations in a systematic way. The word Algebra according to Alkwharizmi is
define as a reduction and balancing of subtracted terms, which is transposition to the other side
of the equation, which is cancellation of like terms. We regularly see people using Algebra in
many parts of everyday life; for instance, it is utilized in our morning schedule each day to
measure the time you will spend in the shower, making breakfast, or driving to work. The
absence of “X” or “Y” doesn’t imply that algebra is not around us; algebra’s actual occurrences
are uncountable. This exact and compact numerical language works wonderfully with practically
all different subjects and everyday life. In Algebraic Geometry we study geometric objects and
their assortment that are characterized by polynomial equations. Examples of algebraic varieties’
most studied classes are plane algebraic curves, including lines, circles, parabolas, ellipses,
hyperbolas. There are also cubic curves like elliptic curves and quartic curves like lemniscates
and Cassini ovals. In real life, algebraic geometry can be used to study the dynamics properties
of robotics mechanisms. A robot can move in continuous space with an infinite set of possible
actions and states. When the robot has arms and legs that must also be controlled and the search
space becomes many-dimensional. Robot’s kinematics can be formulated as a polynomial
equation system that can be solved using algebraic geometry tools. Algebraic geometry is also
widely used in statistics, control theory, and geometric modelling. There are also connections to
string theory, game theory, graph matchings and integer programming.
