Lab gear reassembled for school subject (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

algebra

'school subject' is the definition.
(branch of mathematics)

'lab gear reassembled' is the wordplay.
'reassembled' is an anagram indicator.
'lab'+'gear'='labgear'
'labgear' anagrammed gives 'ALGEBRA'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for algebra that I've seen before include "Part of the maths syllabus" , "letters here set out the problem" , "Symbolic mathematics" , "A garble (anag) - branch of mathematics" , "'Branch of mathematics, uses letters and symbols (7)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
