Algebra (from Arabic "al-jabr" meaning "reunion of broken parts") is one of the broad parts of mathematics, together with number theory, geometry and analysis.

In its most general form, algebra is the study of mathematical symbols and the rules for manipulating these symbols; it is a unifying thread of almost all of mathematics.

As such, it includes everything from elementary equation solving to the study of abstractions such as groups, rings, and fields.

The more basic parts of algebra are called elementary algebra; the more abstract parts are called abstract algebra or modern algebra.

Elementary algebra is generally considered to be essential for any study of mathematics, science, or engineering, as well as such applications as medicine and economics.

Abstract algebra is a major area in advanced mathematics, studied primarily by professional mathematicians.

Calculus (from Latin calculus, literally "small pebble used for counting") is the mathematical study of continuous change, in the same way that geometry is the study of shape and algebra is the study of generalizations of arithmetic operations.

It has two major branches, differential calculus (concerning rates of change and slopes of curves), and integral calculus (concerning accumulation of quantities and the areas under and between curves); these two branches are related to each other by the fundamental theorem of calculus.

Both branches make use of the fundamental notions of convergence of infinite sequences and infinite series to a well-defined limit.

Generally, modern calculus is considered to have been developed in the 17th century by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz.

Today, calculus has widespread uses in science, engineering and economics.

Geometry (from the; "earth", "measurement") is a branch of mathematics concerned with questions of shape, size, relative position of figures, and the properties of space.

A mathematician who works in the field of geometry is called a geometer.

Arithmetic (from the Greek arithmos, "number") is a branch of mathematics that consists of the study of numbers, especially the properties of the traditional operations between them—addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Arithmetic is an elementary part of number theory, and number theory is considered to be one of the top-level divisions of modern mathematics, along with algebra, geometry, and analysis.

The terms arithmetic and higher arithmetic were used until the beginning of the 20th century as synonyms for number theory and are sometimes still used to refer to a wider part of number theory.

Mathematics (from Greek μάθημα máthēma, “knowledge, study, learning”) is the study of topics such as quantity (numbers), structure, space, and change.

There is a range of views among mathematicians and philosophers as to the exact scope and definition of mathematics.
