proof‚ the icing on the cake‚ algebra and geometry playing equal parts. In a similar manner‚ algebraic formulas can also be derived from geometric diagrams. A good example would be the conics. One can’t imagine the conics without their respective geometric diagrams. Not only is geometry tied into algebra in that sense‚ but the fact that the curves had been under scrutiny by the Greeks‚ the greatest exponents of geometry‚ shows their inclination toward some algebra. Numerical approximations for

The History of Algebra The history of algebra has been around for several decades‚ this method of mathematics has been used during the beginning of time. The development of algebraic notation progressed through out three stages: the rhetorical stage‚ the syncopated stage‚ and the symbolic stage with which we are use to using in our daily usage of algebra. In ancient civilization math was used to help leaders to strategically form how their troops should be lined up for battle and help decide

The invention of algebra from the ancient world has produced many opportunities for the modern world we live in today. According to the Webster’s Dictionary‚ “algebra by definition is the part of mathematics in which letters and other symbols are used to represent numbers and quantities in formulae and equations.” First and for most‚ algebra is divided into two different groups‚ the first group being “classical algebra”‚ which is solving equations and finding the unknown variable. The second group

numbers. When most people think of the term mathematics or the word “algebra”‚ they do not get excited. Most people tend to say “I hate math!” or “when are we ever going to use it in our lives.” The fact is that algebra will be used in our lives whether we know it or not. Math is seen everywhere in life; whether it is in science or nature or even architecture‚ it is always present. Math is necessary for even the most basic life functions. One needs math to buy groceries‚ determine a budget‚ and calculate
