Reason For Learning
Algebra relates to you and the world around you. It is part of everyday life and you will be using it without knowing it. If you want to be a scientist or engineer, you will certainly need algebra. If you want to do well in Maths, you will need to study algebra. When you learn algebra you learn a different way of thinking. It helps with problem solving, decision making, reasoning and creative thinking.
