1. Algebra

This chapter provides a basic introduction to the notion of sets, relations, functions, sequences, groups, rings, polynomials, etc..

1.1. Algebraic Structures

In mathematics, the term algebraic structure refers to an arbitrary set with one or more operations defined on it.

• Simpler algebraic structures include groups, rings, and fields.

• More complex algebraic structures like vector spaces are built on top of the simpler structures.
