Algebra is unbelivably useful. The number of calcs I do to reverse engineer my required output to figure out what input I need (read : How many stats I need to get maximum damage) is staggering at times![]()

There is no signature here. Move along.
because as a civil engineer algebra provides the first mathmatical building block to contruct the equations that would be nessecary to build this thing!

Your sig is too hilarious and witty, thus i have removed it to protect the minds of all forum goers

SEXY McAWESOME TO YOU, MISTER
I don't even like Brian. Why should I bother to do Algebra for him?Originally Posted by Spaceman Spiff
Seriously though, Algebra is a very useful way of expressing common sense problems. Some of it may only come in handy on very rare occasions, but you will find yourself using it from time to time.
That said, it is an absolute horror to learn, so it's easy to understand why it's unpopular.

Wouldn't that be 3a, as apposed to 3+a? o_OOriginally Posted by Spaceman Spiff
0=e^i*pi - 1
I think that's right...

Del said it. It's to build towards other things.
I'm a math major, and even when I took Linear Algebra and multi-variable calc and Astrophysics, I needed to use basic algebra skills. I'm going to be a math teacher, and in turn what I learned then will help me teach others how to learn...and the cycle continues.
Algebra quickly becomes "do in your head" math once you've gotten higher-up in math/used it enough, to the point where you don't realize you are using it. But it is probably used almost everyday in some respects (gas is $2.00 a galon, I have a $20 bill, 14.3 gallon tank, can I fill my car up?) that you don't even realize you do.
Grab the opportunities life hands you, that's my motto!
You should burn your algebra book. They make pretty fires!

it's + 1, not - 1, but yea.Originally Posted by Skogs

math is the funnest thing in the world, if you understand how to apply it. and the only way you're gonna do that is by learning algebra.
