Algebraic problems have been used ever since the mathematical writings of the Egyptians and Babylonians. As found in research, Algebra started over 4000 years ago by the Babylonians, who were discovering how to use mathematics to perform ways of daily life, and to evolve as a dominant civilization. For both civilizations (Babylonian and the Muslim), Algebra was used for finance, engineering, calculation of land, and several more. Greatly used for separating land, and constructing buildings correctly.
