Map algebra is a way to perform spatial analysis by creating expressions in an algebraic language. With the Raster Calculator geoprocessing function, you can easily create and run map algebra expressions that output a raster dataset.

The syntax rules for the map algebra expressions are similar to the syntax you may already be familiar with in previous versions of ArcGIS.
