Philosophical/Historical question on the word "kernel" in Algebra

73 Views Asked by At

My question is little philosophical/historical, and it came to mind due to some natural curiocity.

The word kernel appears in many contexts in abstract algebra. (It also appears in other branches of Mathematics - in Fourier Analysis).

It may make one curious about its meaning in English Literature and similarity in Mathematics. In English Literature, its meaning, as per Oxford Dictionary, is ("inner part of a nut or seed").

But, when I tried to thinks its analogy in algebra, I did not find similarity.

Can one explain who used the word "kernel" (in Algebra) first time, and whether it has analogy with the word ("kernel" in English Literature)?
