DESCRIPTION


WHAT IS ALGEBRA?

Algebra is the study of mathematical symbols and the rules surrounding the
manipulation of these symbols. The symbols are used to represent quantities and
numbers within equations and formulae.

We use symbols in algebra because of the unknown values, known as variables. If
there is no known value (number) like 10 or 5, we place a letter or symbol
(usually X or a Y ) to represent that the value is unknown. In contrast to this,
there are elements of algebraic equations called "constants". These get their
name because the value remains the same throughout. For example, the number 23
will always represent 23 units and never another value.

As an Example: X + 23 = 28

In the basic equation above, the variable (x) is the number required to make
this sum work. All we need to do is to add another number to 23 (constant) so
that we can get 28 (constant). Adding 5 to 23, gives you 28, so now we know that
the value of x is 5.

Algebra is considered a unifying concept of almost all elements of math and as
such, it stretches far beyond elementary equations and into the study of things
like, radicals, integers, linear systems, exponent rules, quadratic equations,
the Pythagorean Theorem and much more.


WHO INVENTED ALGEBRA?

The roots of algebra can be traced back to the ancient babylonian era. The
babylonians had advanced systems of math that allowed them to calculate things
in an algorithmic fashion. For the longest time, It was thought that the "father
of algebra" was Diophantus, an alexandrian greek mathematician. This has
recently been challenged though, with historians and mathematicians suggesting
that the title should be with al-Khwarizmi, the founder of the discipline of
al-jabr. It's worth noting that the term "al-jabr", meaning reunion of broken
parts, is where we get the word algebra from.


HOW TO LEARN ALGEBRA?

With algebra, like anything in math, the best way to learn is with repetition.
Practice makes perfect, so make time outside of school/college hours to review
your class notes. If you aren't taking notes in class, you really should be.
These notes will not only help you retain the information but they can also be
used to help you identify any areas of weakness that you have in relation to
algebra. It's important that you know where your strengths and weaknesses are so
that you can build effective revision strategies ahead of your upcoming exams.
Highlight key areas for improvement and get yourself into a good study habit.

When it comes time to revise, use StudyPug's vast collection of algebra lessons
to help you. With step-by-step examples for even the toughest algebra problems,
we offer easy practice solutions for high school algebra content through to more
complex college level algebra. With your very own algebra tutor, you can select
the lessons that are relevant to you, making for a tailored study session that
works to strengthen the weaker areas of your knowledge.

If you're looking for algebra homework help, we've got you covered.
Additionally, we'll also assist you with your algebra exam prep, covering all
the content you'd expect to find on the actual papers. As mentioned above, our
algebra tutoring sessions cover all skill levels, so if you're looking for an
introduction to algebra, we can get you started. Our content will walk you
through each aspect of algebra and when you're ready, you can progress to the
next step. In no time at all, you'll be solving equations, understanding algebra
formulas and so much more! This is because our content is delivered via video
tutorials that can be paused, rewound, and fast-forwarded, ensuring that you can
learn at your own pace and will never get left behind.

Many of our students find the video format is a lot more palatable and easier to
follow than traditional textbooks. That's because our online content avoids
overly complex terminology and presents it in a way that's much easier to
understand. The videos are presented by knowledgeable math teachers who have
worked to ensure that their video content covers the same content found in class
and on exams.


WHAT GRADE LEVEL IS ALGEBRA?

Algebra is one of the foundations of mathematics and as such, it's taught in one
form or another at all grade levels. It is taught to young students once they
have learnt how to find the pattern in numbers, and with each passing grade, the
students continue to build their understanding of the more complex elements
eventually learning abstract algebra at college and university.

Below we have listed the common algebra focused courses and at what grade you
can expect to study them

 * Pre-algebra: Usually Studied in 5th or 6th Grade
 * Basic Algebra: Usually Studied in 7th or 8th Grade
 * Algebra I: Usually Studied in 9th Grade
 * Algebra II: Usually Studied in 11th Grade
 * Intermediate Algebra: Taken Before Any University Level Math, E.G. College
   Algebra or Calculus
 * College Algebra: First Year of College or University


HOW CAN I SOLVE AND SIMPLIFY ALGEBRAIC EQUATIONS WITHOUT A CALCULATOR?

In order to solve algebraic equations without the use of a calculator, you're
going to need to understand algebra instead of simply memorizing the formulae.
Once you have a firm grasp on how the math works, you'll be able to tackle
complex math problems without a calculator.

You should consider browsing our website for helpful videos that break down math
into step-by-step examples so that you not only memorize them but actually
understand them too. We also have useful tips on how to solve other problems
with calculators, such as estimating square roots, percent of a number, and
evaluating logarithms.

It's also worth noting that math hasn't changed and there was a time before
calculators. Track down some older textbooks and you may find some useful tips
for solving math problems with only a pen, some paper, and a little mental
arithmetic.

 * Carson E.
   parent
   
   When we saw our son's grades we looked online for a convenient, affordable
   and effective solution. StudyPug has been a great investment.

 * Jason G.
   high school senior
   
   This website saved my butt last semester. I am using it againthis semester.
   Dennis is the best online tutor... I also like that I can watch videos over
   and over until I really understand the concept. If you want to save time,
   sign up...it's only ten bucks and it saved me hours of study time. Thanks,
   Dennis!

 * Aaron M.
   high school student
   
   I get a whole library of videos that covers everything from basic to complex
   mathematics for a very low monthly price. Excellent videos,
   easy-to-understand and most of all they work. My math test results are 10
   points higher than last semester.
