Lectures on fundamental concepts of algebra and geometry
This work presents a collection of lectures that systematically examine the basic concepts that form the groundwork of algebra and geometry. The content focuses on clarifying fundamental notions such as number, variable, function, space, and transformation, often tracing their historical development and logical interconnections. The lectures are designed to provide a rigorous yet accessible introduction to the abstract structures that unify these two branches of mathematics, making it suitable for advanced undergraduate or graduate students seeking a deeper understanding of mathematical foundations. more
