In algebra, particularly in the context of systems of linear equations, "augmentation" typically refers to augmenting a matrix. This process involves adding additional columns to a matrix, often to represent augmented matrices which include both the coefficients of the variables and the constants from the equations. For example, if you have a system of linear equations like: 1. \\(2x + 3y = 5\\) 2.
