algebraic
With letters, not just numbers
Algebraic describes anything relating to algebra, the branch of mathematics that uses letters and symbols to represent numbers and quantities in equations: algebraic expressions, algebraic equations.
In casual use, algebraic can mean mathematically complex or abstract: The tax code requires algebraic thinking just to file a return.
