Universal algebra: History & Applications

Universal algebra (sometimes called general algebra) is the field of mathematics that studies algebraic structures in general, not specific types of algebraic structures. For instance, rather than considering groups or rings as the object of study—this is the subject of group theory and ring theory—in universal algebra, the object of study is the…
