Symbolic mathematics (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

algebra

'symbolic mathematics' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for algebra that I've seen before include "Branch of generalised arithmetic" , "school subject" , "Branch of mathematics using letters and symbols" , "letters here set out the problem" , "system employing symbols" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Sun and The Times.
