Algebra is the branch of mathematics concerning the study of the rules of operations and the things which can be constructed from them, including terms, polynomials, equations and algebraic structures. Together with geometry, analysis, topology, combinatorics, and number theory, algebra is one of the main branches of pure mathematics. Elementary algebra is often part of the curriculum in secondary education and introduces the concept of variables representing numbers. Statements based on these variables are manipulated using the rules of operations that apply to numbers, such as addition. This can be done for a variety of reasons, including equation solving. Algebra is much broader than elementary algebra and studies what happens when different rules of operations are used and when operations are devised for things other than numbers. Addition and multiplication can be generalised and their precise definitions lead to structures such as groups, rings and fields. From Wikipedia under the

I have been researching this profession and I see that a lot of infasis is placed on algebra, but how does a computer scientist use it on a daily basis that makes it so important for this profession?

Answered by earthdrivenforce - Sat Sep 1 00:59:10 2007 Can you be a good concept designer without having to be good at algebra? Q. I have a problem with algebra, but I always can come up with good ideas and have anabundance of imagination, but when is comes to algebra I just don't seem to get how it works enough to finish my schooling I'm fine when it comes to basic number crunching, but computations and how they realate to designs I just can't seem to grasp. It's like being able to play music, but not being able to read the music or write down the proper notes. So can you be a good concept designer without knowing the mathimatical equations? Asked by Vivianna - Tue Jun 3 15:03:42 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. Where do you need or use square roots? - and where do you need algebra Students ask: Why do I need to know how to calculate the square root of a number? What is the why calculate square root - beyond (or behind) it is used in math formulas? Are square roots really needed in life outside just math studies? Here's an idea of how you as a teacher/parent can at the same time show students one important real-life application of square root AND let them ponder where math is needed AND hopefully pique their interest into math problems in general. This lesson idea will work best when you've taught the square root concept but not yet touched on Pythagorean theorem. Draw a square on board/on paper and draw one diagonal into it. Make the sides of… [cont.] Answered by chandrama pyakurail - Wed Jun 4 09:29:34 2008 What is the easiest way to solve a matrix problem in algebra?
Q. I am currently enrolled in intermediate algebra class. I found it to be interesting until we discussed matrices! I do not know how to solve it. I understand the goal of having the main diagonal line to be 1 and three zeros. However, I find it hard. Is there an easy way to solve a matrix? Asked by duds - Fri Apr 25 13:41:16 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. That is the easy way. Wait until you had to solve 5 unknowns with 5 equations. Try to do without using matrix, and you will how annoying that is. For example, if you 2 equations, and you need to solve for 2 unknowns, then it's not worth it to use matrix, since substitution or cancellation of variables will get the job done. Not everything in life can be done by shortcuts, and that statement is true for mathematics too.
