The word "algebra" may evoke memories of complicated-looking equations like ax + bx + c = 0 or plots of polynomial functions.

What unifies algebra is the practice of studying things like the moves you can make on a Rubik ’s cube or the numbers on a clock face you use to tell time.

Courtney Gibbons : Groups , rings and fields are abstract, but they have many useful applications.

She says you can set up a pretty complicated set of equations to describe a Sudoku puzzle.

The rule “ 1 through 9 each appear exactly once in the top row” can be captured with some sneaky pieces of algebraic thinking, she says.
