"Algebra"

I've often thought about this as being the worst part of maths, and will i ever use it when i leave school (what the point in being taught it when your not going to use when you leave school unless you want to be a stock broker or somthing and i dont)
So why do we get taught if we it is irrelevant to life?

Ahh I see what the confusion was:

*disPute*: And light speed is actually 3 x 10^8 metres per second.... correct

AMD_MAN: 186000 mps .....also correct in mps= miles per second

right glad thats all clear now :)

basically 186000 mps then, acording to steven hawkin, obviously it's rounded up/down.

And light speed is actually 3 x 10^8 metres per second

There are lots more things in maths that are even more useless and even more boring. I'm doing pastpapers at school and they are really easy but so boring but somehow less boring than normal class when we have to do hundreds of repetitive complex questions in 30 minutes.

You have just said the same thing but worded differantly?.

Algebra is a fundamental skill, and there a few jobs where you won't need it.

What short-cut got you to do that squared sign? I suppose you did that in WORD?

Energy = Mass x Light²

Looks like that post got Squared.

Actually it's:


Energy= Mass X (Light X Light)

Even I'm better at Algebra than you.
