[[Algebra]] is a branch of [[mathematics]] which reduces the solution of problems to manipulations of [[symbolic]] expressions.
==Formalization==
In 1955, [[Lacan]] begins to use [[algebraic]] [[symbol]]s -- in an attempt to [[formalize]] [[psychoanalysis]].
Three main reasons lie behind this attempt at [[formalization]].
:1. [[Formalization]] is necessary for [[psychoanalysis]] to acquire [[scientific]] status.
:Just as [[Image:LacanClaude Lévi-Strauss]] uses quasi-algebra.jpg|thumb|right|mathematical formulae in an attempt to set [[List of algebraic symbolsanthropology]]on a more [[scientific]] footing, [[Lacan]] attempts to do the same for [[psychoanalysis]]

==Typographic DetailsList==The typographic details and diacritics are extremely important in [[Image:Lacan-algebra.jpg|thumb|right|[[List of algebraic symbols]]ian ]]The [[algebraalgebraic]].The difference between upper- and lower-case [[symbol]]sused by [[Lacan]], which appear principally in the difference between italicised and non-italicised [[symbolmatheme]]s, [[schema l]] and the use [[graph of the apostrophedesire]], the minus are [[signList of Algebraic Symbols|listed here]], and subscripts; all these details play together with their part in the most common [[algebraicmeaning]] system.
==Development==It is important to remember that the [[symbol]]s do not always refer to the same concept throughout [[Lacan]]'s work, but are used in different ways as his work develops. Therefore some caution should be exercised when referring to the list of equivalences above. ==Details==The typographic details and diacritics are extremely important in [[Lacan]]ian [[algebra]].The difference between upper- and lower-case [[symbol]]s, the difference between italicised and non-italicised [[symbol]]s, the use of the apostrophe, the minus [[sign]], and subscripts; all these details play their part in the [[algebraic]] system. For example the upper-case letters usually refer to the [[symbolic]] [[order]], whereas the lower-case letters usually refer to the [[imaginary]]. The use of the [[bar]] is also important.
