Disciplines within abstract algebra
- Category theory [r]: Loosely speaking, a class of objects and a collection of morphisms which act upon them; the morphisms can be composed, the composition is associative and there are identity objects and rules of identity. [e]
- Commutative algebra [r]: Branch of mathematics studying commutative rings and related structures. [e]
- Field theory [r]: A subdiscipline of abstract algebra that studies fields, which are mathematical constructs that generalize on the familiar concepts of real number arithmetic. [e]
- Galois theory [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Group theory [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Linear algebra [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Ring theory [r]: The mathematical theory of algebraic structures with binary operations of addition and multiplication. [e]

- Lattice (order) [r]: An ordered set in which any two element set has a supremum and an infimum. [e]

- Monoid [r]: An algebraic structure with an associative binary operation and an identity element. [e]
- Ring [r]: Algebraic structure with two operations, combining an abelian group with a monoid. [e]
