A comment on Ask HN: How do researchers chose between 'calculus' and 'algebra'?.
Because algebra and calculus are defined differently.
> The principles of calculus, historically, are differentials and integrals, while those of algebra are operators and equation solving.
Yes, and this leads me to wonder why you asked.
> Contemporary principles are analysis and abstract objects, respectively.
There are many fields that have some elements in common, but that are sufficiently distinct to merit different names and definitions.
