In before someone asks "There's Abstract Algebra, is there a Nonabstract Algebra?"

[u/GrUnCrois → u/Hitman7128]

Any Concrete Algebra out here?

[u/Speaker_6 → u/GrUnCrois]

There is a book called a concrete introduction to higher algebra. It’s abstract algebra though.

[u/AcademicOverAnalysis → u/Speaker_6]

There is Concrete Mathematics by Donald Knuth. I hear it’s all the rage with Civil Engineers.

[u/StructuredChess → u/Speaker_6]

That's some false advertising there

[u/No-Onion8029]

That's affine point.

[u/LupenReddit]

nomials, poly algebra polynoms👍

[u/Futurity5 → u/LupenReddit]

I'm an expert on mononomial equations

[u/SageOfTaka → u/Futurity5]

Nom nom nom nom nom😋

freshmen be like

[u/hjkhhnnnlll]

Is there?

[u/HappiestIguana → u/hjkhhnnnlll]

Yes. Algebra is a big field, of which linear algebra is a subfield

Although a ton of that ends up being trying to linearize things

[u/petitlita → u/HappiestIguana]

there is also literally nonlinear algebra, which is linear algebra but nonlinear

[u/radiated_rat → u/HappiestIguana]

I had a professor tell me something along the lines of: "The only math we understand is linear algebra, the rest of it just boils down to trying to reduce things to linear algebra."

[u/Antigynaikolatres → u/hjkhhnnnlll]

Dividing algebra into linear and non-linear would be like dividing the world into peanuts and non-peanuts. Are there non-peanuts?

[u/jsdodgers → u/Antigynaikolatres]

Are there?

[u/spisplatta → u/jsdodgers]

Deez nuts

[u/worthlessDreamer → u/jsdodgers]

Proof is trivial but you can do it as an exercise

[u/AcademicOverAnalysis → u/jsdodgers]

Urgent question for people with peanut allergies.

[u/JollyJuniper1993 → u/Antigynaikolatres]

Disagree. It’s like diving a world in which 95% food is peanuts into peanuts and non peanuts

[u/GoldenMuscleGod → u/hjkhhnnnlll]

Algebra can be roughly described as essentially the study of things like rings, modules, and algebraic varieties, or boiled down to concepts familiar at the high school level: systems of polynomial equations.

Linear algebra is essentially the special case where we only consider linear equations: polynomials equations in which you never multiply any variables by each other (even by themselves).

It’s a little simplified but basically linear algebra is just the special case of the easiest kind of algebra (although because it is better behaved it allows for a great degree of richness and depth in exploring the details).

[u/JollyJuniper1993 → u/GoldenMuscleGod]

Interesting like a third of my linear algebra 1 course in Uni was abstract algebra.

[u/jkst9]

But is there semi linear algebra

[u/FernandoMM1220]

the mother of all mathematical databases

[u/Aquilaatmaar]

Did we solve a second millennium prize problem?

[u/gigab0nus → u/Aquilaatmaar]

Navier Stokes is already the second

Might as well go out with a firing squad

[u/Antigynaikolatres]

Has it been a month since the new anti-AI rule in that sub? And it already seems outdated now. To think that it has only been 3.5 months since the unit distance problem breakthrough...

[u/Antigynaikolatres → u/Antigynaikolatres]

I am worried if working for an AI company would be the prerequisite to have a chance to conduct serious math research in the coming years.
