  Some facts about Algebra Algebra is derived from the Arabic word Al-jabr, which means the reunion of broken parts. Until the 16th century, there were only two subfields of mathematics: geometry and arithmetic. Fields, rings, and groups of abstractions are all studied as part of algebraic studies. Engineering, science, mathematics, economics, and medicine all use elementary algebra. Professional mathematicians are interested in studying abstract algebra as the subject is part of advanced mathematics. Mathematicians who study algebra are known as Algebraists.
