I don't see a point in algerba.

Why because why is 3+a going to help you with?

x-rays are based on a matrice system of unknowns that is solved by a computer. there are well over a million variables in such a system per equation. the computer did not come up with a way to solve this system on its own.

chaos: Sometimes, in certain cases you have to work backwards, and actually change numbers into letters to make things easier, then figure it out again once you've reached another stage.

Rubedo: When I was younger, though, I found algebra a complete waste of time, and now, I regret those words.

Algebra teaches you abstract thought. We need more of that in the world.

[Del Murder]

Algebra is just a building block for greater things. The computer you typed that with, for example. Math was necessary to create most if not all of the modern technological benefits we enjoy today.

Plus it's way fun!

You use algebra every single day and you don't even know it! It comes in a lot of handy when doing finacial things when it comes to stocks, bonds, interest, loans and your credit card bills. If you were to say calculas then I wouldn't really complain becaues the average person does not need to know anything about that math. Algebra is pretty much a must though.

[Necronopticous]

I don't see a point in algerba either. I didn't even know they taught algerba in school? That algebra stuff is very important, however.

[Yamaneko]

Math is taught incorrectly in school, I think. Profs don't show you real world applications to the stuff you're doing. At least not any of the professors I've had.

[edczxcvbnm]

Thats what word problems are suppose to do...but they don't do a great job of it.

I have three apples. The total price of the apples is $3. How much do the apples cost each?

price is you get to keep your teeth if you give me them apples

[Doomgaze]

I know I use algebra on a fairly regular basis, and I'm not in math anymore. It's just a basic math skill that you need to know.

Calculus, however, I can count the number of times it's been useful to me on one hand. And by "useful" i mean "would have allowed me to win a geeky arguement"
