Algebra is mathematics. 2+2 is arithmetic. It is possible to learn one
without the other, or learn them in either order, although in most instances
they compliment each other nicely.

But you are learning, or not learning as is probably the case, out of
order. Sort of like learning Algebra before you know what 2 + 2 is.
