As you can see by this, the entry on Algebra appears to be deficient in any number of areas, but in particular, the author of the original seems to be mistaken in assuming that algebra is merely that element which is emboldened in the text above.

:It's not a mistake; it's the context of this encyclopedia. We meant "school algebra".
:After that has been explained, then you are welcome to write about advanced kinds of algebra. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 20:07, 3 September 2008 (EDT)
I realize that it's tacky to argue with someone who has been banned, but the "improvement" suggested by CatWatcher is '''so''' not going to happen. The educational articles here are aimed at teenagers. People who want world-class sophistication can go to the mathworld site mentioned above. Oh. And he left out Grassmann algebra, though perhaps he meant for Exterior algebra to include that. [[User:SamHB|SamHB]] 23:47, 1 December 2010 (EST)
Can anyone help with the formatting? I don't know how to represent mixed numbers or the plus-minus sign in wiki formatting. [[User:AmyD|AmyD]] 03:06, 25 February 2014 (EST)
