The knowledge and application of basic mathematics is an indispensable part of individual and group life. The refinement of its basic concepts can be seen in ancient mathematical classics of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia and ancient India. Since then, its development has made small progress. But algebra and geometry at that time were still independent for a long time.
Algebra can be said to be the most widely accepted "mathematics". It can be said that algebra is the first mathematics that everyone has come into contact with since childhood. Algebra, as a discipline to study numbers, is also one of the most important parts of mathematics. Geometry is the earliest branch of mathematics studied by people.
Until the Renaissance in16th century, Descartes founded analytic geometry, which linked algebra and geometry which were completely separated at that time. From then on, we can finally prove the theorem of geometry by calculation. At the same time, abstract algebraic equations can be expressed graphically, and later more subtle calculus was developed.

Everything counts. Pythagoras
Geometry has no king. -Euclid
Mathematics is the language that God uses to write the universe. Galileo
I'm determined to give up just abstract geometry. In other words, I don't think about the problems that are only used to practice my thoughts. I did this to study another kind of geometry, that is, geometry aimed at explaining natural phenomena.
Mathematicians try to find a certain order of prime sequence on this day. We have reason to believe that this is a mystery, and the human mind can never penetrate it. -Euler
Some beautiful theorems in mathematics have the following characteristics: they are easy to be summarized from facts, but their proofs are extremely hidden. Mathematics is the king of science. Gauss
This is the advantage of a well-structured language, and its simplified symbols are usually the source of abstruse theories. -Laplace (Pierre-Simon Laplace 1749- 1827)
