New page

==Major Query==

Will someone please explain why things like Box & Whisker Plots, Acute angle are included in Algebra?
Clearly this section has been writen by someone with only a very basic knowlwdge of mathematica, and little understanding that ASlgebra is an encompassing term which includes things like communtative algebras, non-commutiative Algebras, Clifford Algebras, Lie Algebras etc.

In addition, any attempt to discuss 'Algebra', should reference its origins. The first person to use this term was Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī (780-850),in a text entitled al-Kitāb al-mukhtaṣar fī ḥisāb al-jabr wa-l-muqābala (Arabic: الكتاب المختصر في حساب الجبر والمقابلة “The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing”) written approximately 830 CE.

-:: Yes but the pages should be about Mathematics and Not algebra. Algebra and Geometry (another gripe as there are many different geometries) are eklements within Mathematics. The whole thing is ill-conceived.
