Algebra comes from the Arabic "al-jabr" meaning "restoration". Algebra differs from arithmetic through the use of non-number symbols, such as x, y, and z. The "restoration" referred is the combination of Indian, Babylonian, and Greek classical methodology that were lost to civilization during the European Dark Ages.
