Algebra Introduction - the basics

Algebra is where we substitute a letter (called a pronumeral) to make equations (and even maybe solve them). Algebra isn't hard - if you know the basics. This math lesson looks all at the basics of algebra.

    8yerbrain Freaking dang straight. Not everybody can learn math well. Heck 4 out of 3 people suck at math...see what I did there lol ;) but for real, I floated through high school and graduated. Never could learn math well. These videos have helped me more in the past 30 minutes of just watching them more than all my years in school till I graduated.

    I know im late on this but ... To be, or not to be, that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take Arms against a Sea of troubles, And by opposing end them: to die, to sleep No more; and by a sleep, to say we end the heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks that Flesh is heir to? 'Tis a consummation devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep, To sleep, perchance to Dream; aye, there's the rub, for in that sleep of death, what dreams may come, when we have shuffled off this mortal coil, must give us pause. There's the respect that makes Calamity of so long life: For who would bear the Whips and Scorns of time, the Oppressor's wrong, the proud man's Contumely, [F: poor] the pangs of despised Love, the Law’s delay, [F: disprized] the insolence of Office, and the spurns that patient merit of the unworthy takes, when he himself might his Quietus make with a bare Bodkin? Who would Fardels bear, [F: these Fardels] to grunt and sweat under a weary life, but that the dread of something after death, the undiscovered country, from whose bourn no traveller returns, puzzles the will, and makes us rather bear those ills we have, than fly to others that we know not of. Thus conscience does make cowards of us all, and thus the native hue of Resolution Is sicklied o'er, with the pale cast of Thought, And enterprises of great pitch and moment, [F: pith] with this regard their Currents turn awry, [F: away] And lose the name of Action. Soft you now, The fair Ophelia? Nymph, in thy Orisons Be all my sins remember'd.

    Tried doing my GCSE math at school and failed every time really badly , thought math was just impossible for me . So After I finished my alevels , I really needed math to do anything . So I went to a local college one night a week for 6 months and used this channel to revise and refresh topics I found difficult . So I did the exam again and finally got a C . Don’t know why but at school I found that I learned nothing but a smaller class at the college and help from KZread videos made me feel reasonably comfortable and confident when doing the exam . Huge thanks for these kind of videos !

    "Aside from school work, where is algebra used in a daily life?" (no reply button) In doing many things. Programming and web design uses variables and formulas to parse outputs from a database. Even simple apps you can make will store user data in variables and parsed by the app. The only difference is that in programming, variables have names like "DB_unit_value". Scriptmaking can make your life much easier in the modern age. Understanding the underlying math also makes analyzing statistical data far easier and you'll discover a lot more than what SPSS will normally show you. Engineering uses a lot of it. All the hard sciences also use it extensively. Even the humanities disciplines, such as sociology, now use a lot of formulas in literature. Most high-paying jobs require an extensive math knowledge. Engineer majors are doing far better out of college than a history major. Many people fear the math, so they settle for liberal arts degrees. Learn it now the best you can and it will become easier for you and you won't have to settle later on.

    Miss Cakelyn I agree! I believe that the simpler the better and if the teacher makes it with some comical jokes, the lesson becomes very entertaining to learn it and that is how I got my As in my CUNY exam because I had a comical professor that a right amount of balance of jokes and lessons and time for questions and practices on board made it much more easier for me to have learned it after several tries with different professors that as mentioned make it kind of boring and tedious and it's really hard to learn this in that pattern. If algebra is taught with simplicity then everything else would be less complicated. :) Hang in there, ...you too WILL A's YOUR ALGEBRAIC PROBLEMS , TOO :D just don't give up, alright? ;D

    Hi , thanks for your video, in a long expression there too many signs of addition and subtraction, how do I figure out whether it's addition or subtraction. Here is an expression I am confused with. 4a-5a+b-2b+2a= Answer I had was: 3a+b In the text book the answer is: a-b Thanks

    Fajol Miah For a question like 4a-5a+b-2b+2a, to answer this you group like terms. Don't worry about whether you are adding or subtracting yet, just group like terms...So for (a) we have +4a, -5a, and +2a. Put these together to get 1aFor (b) we have +b and -2b. Put these together to get 1bSo the answer is a + b.

    I think you need to learn algebra at least. It's just a shame they don't teach logic in sub tertiary education. You say you don't need math, you might be right, since there are so many jobs now where you don't have to. But guess what created those jobs, or your phone, or your computer, or electricity, or internet, or your stove, or your microwave, or your car. Pretty much any technological advancement you know. How dare you say math is useless, only someone who is scientifically illiterate would utter those words. Be grateful for people that learned the subject so you can have a comfortable life.

    X is any integer. It is used mostly in algebra these letters to understand and solve algebraic math problems. It's made this way to help people use more the mind in solving math. I hope this helps you. God bless you....and don't stop, don't give up in learning algebra. Take it from me....it's very hard at the beginning but once you master the concept of algebra you'll love it so much that all you want to do is algebra math all the time...believe me! It's true...just study as much as you can & soon before you know it you'll know how to do these algebraic expressions in math :) Again, hoping that this advice from me helps you :) GOOD LUCK! :D
