You're mostly right, with one (or two) exception: > Matrices and linear algebra. This isn't abstract algebra. It's used in abstract algebra, but that's true for linear algebra in almost any branch of mathematics. Also, depending on what exactly they implemented for Univariate polynomials, this part may also be numerical.

Did you look at the documentation? The matrices implemented have their elements in arbitrary commutative rings (well, not arbitrary, somebody has to implement them in Julia, of course, but they have a bunch). I think its fair to call that abstract algebra; I wouldn't it numeric. In my university, that's how we teach linear algebra to math majors but not to engineers, for example.
