When will i use algebra in the real world? I know that we use the four basic mathematical operations every single day, but algebra?

>> No.9991692

You? No, you won't use math, you'll just get screwed out of your hard work every day for the rest of your moronic life.

Oh, so you think i don't have 40 million dollars in the bank, huh. Okay

It largely depends what you'll do in your profession.

Want to be a lowly taxi driver? You'll probably never use algebra in your life. If you want to be a broker, or a software engineer, or a physicist, or an engineer, or even an economist, you'll need to know math.

Or, you'll do it for fun, if you're not a moron. Here's a puzzle. I have a product worth $50 and a third of its own cost. What's the price of the product?

Like, literally everyday. Buying gas is a fucking algebra equation. Finding the best value at a store is a ln algebra equation

I'm a chartered account and I use algebra every day.

this line of thought is fine at the age of 11 years

but if you're able to post on 4chan you should be able to understand the value of increasingly """"complex"""" levels of math in daily life

yes, it has diminishing returns. arithmetic is the must useful, algebra is slightly less useful, calculus is a little less useful than that

but even just understanding what derivatives and integrals are are extremely beneficial if you think about things mathematically at all in any way at any point
