  • Algebraic numbers, a complex number that is a root of a non-zero polynomial in one variable with integer coefficients
  • Algebraic functions, functions satisfying certain polynomials
  • Algebraic element, an element of a field extension which is a root of some polynomial over the base field
  • Algebraic extension, a field extension such that every element is an algebraic element over the base field
  • Algebraic definition, a definition in mathematical logic which is given using only equalities between terms
  • Algebraic structure, a set with one or more finitary operations defined on it
  • Algebraic, the order of entering operations when using a calculator (contrast reverse Polish notation)
