I think a distinction should be made between Algebra as an area of study, and "an algebra", referring to a class of sets satisfying certain properties. This would require a disambiguation page, but I am not sure how to set one up. There should also be some discussion about what to call the two pages which deal with the two different meanings of algebra. --[[User:Asymptosis]]
