Algebra, Geometry and Combinatorics

"One of the most amazing features of twenties century mathematics has been its recognition of the power of the abstract approach. This has given rise to a large body of new results and problems and has, in fact, led us to open up whole new areas of mathematics whose very existence had not even been suspected.
...

The algebra which has evolved as an outgrowth of all this is not only a subject with an independent life and vigor--it is one of the important current research areas in mathematics--but it also serves as the unifying thread which interlaces almost all of mathematics--geometry, number theory, analysis, topology, and even applied mathematics."
