It also provides systematic procedures for evaluating expressions, and performing calculations, involving these operations and relations.

“Poetry has become the higher algebra of metaphors.”
—José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
“In my dealing with my child, my Latin and Greek, my accomplishments and my money stead me nothing; but as much soul as I have avails. If I am wilful, he sets his will against mine, one for one, and leaves me, if I please, the degradation of beating him by my superiority of strength. But if I renounce my will, and act for the soul, setting that up as umpire between us two, out of his young eyes looks the same soul; he reveres and loves with me.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
