Algebra
Modern algebra has its roots in the mathematics of the ancient world,
arising out of the basic problem of solving equations. Following an
explosive development in the twentieth century, it is now a vibrant,
multi-faceted and wide-ranging branch of mathematics, having ties with
almost every field of mathematics and computer science. The interests of the
Algebra group at Northeastern include algebraic geometry, commutative
algebra, representation theory and homological algebra, with connections to
combinatorics, singularities, Lie groups and topology.
