Algebra

a rather new experience for myself. Failing my first class in school was a difficult aspect of my life that I didn’t expect would happen. My 8th grade algebra class was a new experience for me as I failed my first class. I didn’t realize I was in danger of failing until it was too late. When I was told that I was going to have to retake algebra in high school, I was extremely disappointed in myself. If I’d known sooner I wasn’t doing so well, I would’ve put more time and effort into doing…

It all started in 7th grade when I struggled with fractions. The following year, I was put in “Bridge to Algebra”, which was a class for those who wasn’t ready for Algebra I, but also understands some Algebra. I passed the class so I was able to enroll in Algebra I for my freshman year. I was excited to move on to Algebra I, but I realized that everyone else in my school class was enrolled in Geometry and I was behind. What confirmed it was the fact that I was…

astute legal services to conspicuous people, and later served as royal counselor to Kings Henry III and IV of France. In his spare time he worked on mathematics and published his results at his own expense. He has been called the father of modern algebra and the head of the mathematician…

footsteps. The reason that he didn’t was Bernoulli saw his mathematical potential and advocated for him to become a mathematician. Leonhard Euler didn’t just help in one specific part of math he helped in geometry, calculus, trigonometry, algebra, number theory, physics, lunar theory and astronomy. He is responsible for the function f (x),…

students. For this activity, I selected my former high school Accelerated Algebra II teacher Della Highman at Franklin Heights High School. She has been teaching algebra for a number of years and even has an ESL math class that meets for two periods per day. I decided to interview her because of the diverse setting of my high school and the fact she has been teaching algebra for an extended period of time; I truly enjoy algebra and believe it would be the most suitable subject for me to teach…

A German Jewish mathematician, known for her contributions to abstract algebra and theoretical physics, Amalie Emmy Noether was described by many other famous mathematic theorists as the most important woman in the history of mathematics. An article on Applied Mathematics gives a brief insight into the importance of her work: Emmy Noether was one of the most brilliant and important mathematicians of the 20th century. She altered the course of modern physics. Einstein called her a genius. Yet…

false. Descartes arrives to this argument because after the dream argument he admits that though he maybe dreaming, there are things in that world that remain consistent whether the senses were fooled or not. Those things are principles such as, algebra, geometry and arithmetic. He suggests that whether he is awake or sleep, two plus three will equal five. Descartes begins this argument with the confirmation that God exists. He suggests that God exists because…

between midterm tests, on the occasion that both groups take a proctored midterm test. My target population would be first-year students taking college algebra online or in-person that attend a community college in Kentucky, as long as they both have proctored midterm. I would use a stratified sampling method to collect samples of 50 college algebra students midterm scores from 6 different community…

grades “…are important for the future—for college, scholarships.” Mike 's father cares about his son’s future because he loves him and wants to see his son succeed. Mike failing an algebra test for some disposable girlfriend is irrational to his father because he wants his son to have a good future. Mike’s failed algebra test represents Mike defying his father’s feeling of what is logical. Mike’s father has his son to focus more on the future than on Jane, in an attempt to get Mike 's future…

the small suburban city of Tempe, Arizona. It has an admission rate of eighty percent, admitting approximately 17,465 people a year. Admission requirements for ASU are four years of English, four years of Mathematics (algebra I, geometry, algebra II and one course requiring algebra II as a prerequisite), three years total of Laboratory Science (1 year each from any of the following areas are accepted:…
