Algebra over an operad

Okay kiddo, let's have some fun with algebra over an operad!

So first, what is algebra? Well, it's like playing with numbers and letters to solve problems. You know how you've learned to add and subtract numbers, right? Well, algebra is a bit more advanced but it's still just using rules to solve problems.

Now, what's an operad? That's a bit more complicated. An operad is like a set of rules for how things work together. It's like a recipe book for math or science. Operads are used to study and understand complex systems so that we can solve problems related to them.

So, when we talk about algebra over an operad, we're talking about using those rules from the operad to solve algebra problems. We're taking those recipes and using them to figure out how numbers and letters work together.

For example, let's say we have an operad that describes how addition works. It tells us that when we add two numbers together, we should put them together and get a new number. So, if we have the numbers 2 and 3, we can use the operad to find out what happens when we add them together.

We'll use the operad's rules to get the answer: 2 + 3 = 5. See how that works? We used the rules from the operad to solve an algebra problem.

So that's algebra over an operad! We take the rules from the operad and use them to solve algebra problems. It's like baking a cake - we need a recipe to know what ingredients to use and how to put them together. But instead of baking a cake, we're solving algebra problems!
