<h2>What is College Algebra?</h2>
What is Algebra and why do we need it? Algebra can be defined as the branch of math that uses symbols and letters in lieu of numbers to study a variety of phenomena. Often times these symbols represent a simplification of known or unknown variables and factors involved in a complex algebraic equations or formulas. Algebraic equations and formulas are often used to describe a relationship between these variables. The study of Algebra also involves the rules that dictate how these symbols and letters operate.
Understandably, many of you may have thought you escaped Algebra after graduating high school. Kissing polynomials and inequalities goodbye must have left you overjoyed! The reality for many of you however is that Algebra will continue to be fundamental as you begin your college education - In fact, much of Algebra forms the basis of all math you have learnt up to now! The utility of Algebra is particularly prominent in fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Moving forward and beyond academia, Algebra will continue to be your friend in a process you may know as "growing up". Use StudyPug and gain more than just great grades in this intro to College Algebra! Learn life skills to improve your financial planning and budgeting, assess risks in your business or investment ventures, and make good decisions regarding healthcare insurance.
