Algebra #
Algebra is the study of mathematical structures and symbols, and is in my opinion the most pure example of emergent beauty. A simple list of axioms is taken as given, and attempts are made to classify all possible structures that can arise from them. I first studied algebra, in the modern sense, in 2008, and ended up studying it for my PhD, which I submitted in 2014. It is one of the four main “pillars” of mathematics, alongside analysis, number theory and geometry.
