Algebra I on Khan Academy: Algebra is the language through which we describe patterns. Think of it as a shorthand, of sorts. As opposed to having to do something over and over again, algebra gives you a simple way to express that repetitive process. It's also seen as a "gatekeeper" subject. Once you achieve an understanding of algebra, the higher-level math subjects become accessible to you. Without it, it's impossible to move forward. It's used by people with lots of different jobs, like carpentry, engineering, and fashion design. In these tutorials, we'll cover a lot of ground. Some of the topics include linear equations, linear inequalities, linear functions, systems of equations, factoring expressions, quadratic expressions, exponents, functions, and ratios.

    I am 52 and have sucked at math in general all of my life. Having viewed this video only one time, the relationship between programming languages and algebra suddenly became distinctly clear to me. The proverbial "light came on" per se... Thank you sir. I now have a much greater understanding of algebra and it's concepts.

I cannot express enough gratitude (Huge Thanks!!) for both, your enthusiasm and your (attempt's at) elaborate efficiency in sharing the slew of academics I have learned through you thus far! I had monotone and worse, truly unknowing persons that "taught" math in my younger inner city education, so I am beyond refreshed to continue my self education and more (Soon hope to test higher, then finish my bachelors & beyond.)with your brilliant and inspiring tutelage and assistance . Thank You for working tirelessly alongside the amazing folks at Khan to create something special. This video btw had a passionate and wow level finish! ;)

I have plans to go to school for computer science and programming and if I am ever faced with a problem I can't figure out in math I often find help through your videos. the way you explain things usually can easily be translated into programming. thanks!

    I think maths in itself is one part of the universe and is an extension of logic. But like science it is just one way of describing the reality we name in the scientific way. For example knowing the forces of motion, heat and pressure will give you no idea or emotional insight into what it must be like to give birth or feel joy. These experiences happen and writers, poets and religion might attempt to guide us through. For when we ask questions like what is the point of my office job? What is the point of having children? Why are we here? Are we alone? Science shrugs its shoulders and ignores the question.

We can already force emotions with natural and chemical substances, so it's preposterous to claim that emotions are in any way different from what science describes currently. In the who knows how distant future the billions of neurons and synapses in the brain will have been made sense of and we will be able to trigger any emotion we want at will.

    I plan on using your videos often, maybe daily as a full curriculum. Though I am full time with UOP. I am going to your site so I can utilize all you have to offer. I plan on being as involved as I can be. I have had teachers and even friends try and help me with Algebra, and it's absolutely unreal how much your video has helped me. You give hope to the internet, with content that is life changing and educational! The internet has just evolved in a major way thanks to you!

    I think algebra should be taught in grade school. I think kids could understand it just fine once they're able to do multiplication and division and basic fractions. If they can understand and use a conventional ruler, they can understand a number line, zero, and going in a negative direction, etc.

    But as for the video discussion, the Greeks were almost fanatical about the mathematic and cosmic (or universe) relationships. I think it was perhaps religious-like for them. Walt Disney studios, back in the 1950's, did an excellent animation story about the Classical Greek culture and their "thing" for understanding the cosmos (or attempting to) through math. That animation is on youtube. It's a must-watch.

    when i was a kid, algebra was never explained in such a cool way. most of the teachers just introduced the concepts without explaining their relevance. thanks, sal. this is more akin to what i was getting at with an older question: "why does it matter?". i think every teacher should play this vid ,before going beyond basic arithmetic with their students.

    A decade after high school and this stuff can make my head hurt. Hard to comprehend I was really good with algebra a decade ago. A decade without using it can lead to forgetting. Looking back, I should have found some way to use it. If you are still in high school or are just out of high school, don't think you will remember everything unless you actively try to use what you know. Don't let your knowledge fade. Doesn't take long. I'm purposely trying to remember what I once knew and with just one decade, it bothers me that it's so hard. I was so good with algebra and geometry at one point that I was top in my school. Then when I got out of school, I failed to use algebra or geometry. Now it is all a blur. Almost like it was some weird dream.

    I'm 50 years old. My school days are over. I had a C in Algebra when I was in high school. It was very confusing to me and I just couldn't grasp the concept. I always thought Algebra was a waste of time and had no idea what it meant until 5 minutes ago after watching this video. I have very poor social skills and need repetitions to help my brain process information. This type education would be perfect for people like me. Students who have access to Khan's Academy videos are very blessed and fortunate.

    I keep coming back to these simple mathematics and physics videos even tho I am in my candidate physics program(2nd year ). Getting past calculus is great but, once you get to university level of mathematics and physics the inspiration feels different compare to the beginning of algebra and calculus. The inspiration in university level mathematics and physics isn't as direct as first starting out with algebra & calculus. It feels more like goals that you want to strive for example getting to differential geometry, don't get me wrong it is more then enough to keep you going :) The feeling i get from watching these beginner videos fills me with more of a pure inspiration, it feels like I just want to do mathematics/physics rather than working towards a specific goal. Which is such an amazing feeling to get when you are stuck or when you get that sinking feeling that you are lagging behind. Anyway... Great video to say the least :)
