Rebalancing, with no indefinite numbers reinterpreted from maths work (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

algebraic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'rebalancing with no indefinite numbers reinterpreted' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'maths work' is the wordplay.
'maths' becomes 'algebra' (algebra is a kind of maths).
'work' becomes 'ic' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'algebra'+'ic'='ALGEBRAIC'

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for algebraic that I've seen before include "Relating to a branch of maths" , "shown symbolically" .)
