The Difficulties Math Places on Students: A Summary of “Is Algebra Necessary?” In “Is Algebra Necessary?” by Andrew Hacker‚ an emeritus professor of political science at Queens College‚ City University of New York ‚ Hacker critiques algebra‚ claiming that students are not passing‚ and that this is limiting the level of education available to them . Hacker suggests that if we make math more practical‚ by adding things such as “citizen statistics‚” more students will succeed. In the beginning of his

Unlike geometry‚ algebra was not developed in Europe. Algebra was actually discovered (or developed) in the Arab countries along side geometry. Many mathematicians worked and developed the system of math to be known as the algebra of today. European countries did not obtain information on algebra until relatively later years of the 12th century. After algebra was discovered in Europe‚ mathematicians put the information to use in very remarkable ways. Also‚ algebraic and geometric ways of thinking

RELATIONAL ALGEBRA Query Language It is a Language in which a user request information from the database. These languages are typically of a level higher than that of the standard programming language. It is divided into either procedural or non-procedural language. In the procedural Language‚ the user instructs the system to perform the sequence of operation on the database to compute a desired result. In a non-procedural Language‚ the user describes the information desired without
