Algebra

to astronomy, as with other civilizations, in order to do astrology. I found this especially notable, as astrology was used to calculate auspicious marriage dates then just as it often is today. Like Greek mathematics prior to Diophantus, India’s algebra also followed a rhetorical approach, which must have limited it to a great extent. Indian math also only used positive integers, although it explored multiple solutions to algebraic problems. It is especially notable how ax + by = c was…

achieve a goal of getting a ninety percent or higher in Algebra 2. I have always strived to do well in math class, but when I took Algebra two years ago, I was unable to obtain my desired scores. My objective was to get better grades this time around in the math class. In semester one, I made it a priority to turn in every assignment on time. By doing this, my homework completion grades helped to keep my scores in the desired range. It seems that Algebra comes easier to me now than it did when I…

each day after my school classes, i went and attend a tuition on algebra with my best teacher. through hard working and attending all classes of my algebra tution, i was able to get full command on algebra in less than year. i was lucky that i start the tuition at the right time which prepared me for my exam. my father who was the driving force behind my successes and studying hard…

Muslim innovations that changed the world or affect the world today are, Algebra, hospitals, and the toothbrush with toothpaste. First, muslims built the first medical building in 872. They named it Ahmad ibn Tulun Hospital, and it was free for any muslim who needed to be cared for. They spread hospitals throughout…

Amalie, commonly referred to as Emmy, was a German mathematician. Her contributions to algebra have gained her recognition as “the most creative abstract algebraist of modern times” (Encyclopædia Britannica). Noether received a Ph.D. degree from the University of Erlangen in 1907 with a dissertation on algebraic invariants. Shortly after she was invited the University of Göttingen in 1915 by David Hilbert and Felix Klein, Noether used her knowledge of invariants to assist them in exploring the…

Mr Adam also informs us of his discourse with Mrs Sierra ____ of the ASU Law School regarding which graduate level courses require an understanding an application of algebra. The answer, he claims, to both questions does nothing but to serve to point out the chasm of separation between the respective disciplines from a professional as well as from an academic…

is in Teaching Children Mathematics, May 2013, Volume 19, No. 9, pp. 554-562. In the article, Kurz talks about the concept of using a web-based balance tool to algebraically demonstrate equality. These tools encourage the Common Core Standards of Algebra. For example, The article illustrates a balance tool called the Balancing Act in which the kindergarteners to balance a bird feeder and a birdhouse by placing objects such as bird food, cocoons, and birds on the balance. This concept correlates…

desire to learn. My favorite years were freshmen and sophomore. I scored fine grades at everything from biology and chemistry to algebra and art. For me, excelling was learning and understanding the information. If I couldn’t retain the information, I knew I couldn’t excel. So until this day, I've most enjoyed and excelled at medical terminology, anatomy and physiology, algebra, geometry, world history and biology.…

I used to believe that geometry wasn’t possible without algebra, that geometry was essentially a representation of algebra. I didn’t have an experience of geometry that focused on the creativity and ingenuity that I’ve come to now know. Chapter 6 of Journey Through Genius reiterates how impressive the discipline of geometry truly is. Cardano’s solution to the general solution was astonishing, to me, because of the literal use of geometry to find the appropriate algebraic identities and the…

In school, I wasn’t the top student and I didn’t get all A’s. I didn’t wear the Top Ten cords at the graduation ceremony. On my final report card I was 17/117 in my class. Yet I enrolled as an Honor Student in college. In the 21st century, people no longer are harassed for being smart or are pariahs for studying more than others. Although I didn’t study as much as others for tests and exams, I paid attention in class and sought help from classmates or worked alone if I didn’t understand…
