Algebra is a way of working with numbers and signs to answer a mathematical problem (a question using numbers) As a single word‚ "algebra" can mean[1]: * Use of letters and symbols to represent values and their relations‚ especially for solving equations. This is also called "Elementary algebra". Historically‚ this was the meaning in pure mathematics too‚ like seen in "fundamental theorem of algebra"‚ but not now. * In modern pure mathematics‚ * a major branch of mathematics which

Prior to this College Algebra class‚ I have taken algebra 1‚ algebra 2‚ geometry‚ and precalculus. These math classes have allowed me to gain skills and knowledge that I may apply in your class.I learned the concept of factoring in algebra 1. Factoring was a concept that I struggled to understand. It took me several minutes to determine each factor as I was not given a specific way to do it. However‚ in my sophomore year of highschool‚ I was given certain rules and “tricks” to solve equations that

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

(I made this when I was a freshman. I’m now a Junior.) Why do we need to learn Algebra? What’s the point of learning Algebra in the first place? After all‚ all of the math leading up to Algebra that we learned growing up such as addition‚ multiplication‚ decimals‚ fractions‚ et cetera that seems to have a concrete meaning? This concept all deals with numbers‚ in some way or another‚ and because of this we can apply it to our daily lives like calculating‚ and in our chosen career. In short

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
