While the word "algebra" comes from Arabic word (al-jabr , ), its origins can be traced to the ancient Babylonians, [1] who developed an advanced arithmetical system with which they were able to do calculations in an algebraic fashion. With the use of this system they were able to apply formulas and calculate solutions for unknown values for a class of problems typically solved today by using linear equations, quadratic equations, and indeterminate linear equations.

By contrast, most Egyptians of this era, and most Indian, Greek and Chinese mathematicians in the first millennium BC, usually solved such equations by geometric methods, such as those described in the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus, Sulba Sutras, Euclid's Elements, and The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art. The geometric work of the Greeks, typified in the Elements, provided the framework for generalizing formulae beyond the solution of particular problems into more general systems of stating and solving equations.

The Greek mathematicians Hero of Alexandria and Diophantus ("the father of algebra") [2] continued the traditions of Egypt and Babylon, but Diophantus's book Arithmetica is on a much higher level. [3]
