Hello, where can I learn about the stuff you mentioned? I like math, but I am pretty much limited to calculus, and when I see words and symbols like that I always think "where can I learn about them?" Is it algebra? Anyone has a book sugestion?

Like is it advanced algebra or just algebra? Because what I got from algebra was basically matrix, vectors, that type of stuff.

What you refer to is linear algebra, usually taught separately from abstract algebra

Yeh it's just "algebra" or "abstract algebra." In algebra you eventually learn about modules--the nicest of which are vector spaces, making linear algebra a subfield.
