Using Algebra in Real Life
You know how when you are in high school you always ask, “when will I ever need to know this?” Well, I am happy to report that I used algebra in my normal every day life today. I was able to help a girl in my office figure out how much to pay a driver- I used an x and everything. I still don’t think that I will ever use calculus . . .

I must confess, algebra comes in handy in my life too. But, then again, normal people don't have to do stats for a living...
I love it. I guess you have to be an engineer or a scientist to use the calculus but "algebra" after came from the Arabic for "to compute".
