The History of Algebra The history of algebra has been around for several decades, this method of mathematics has been used during the beginning of time. The development of algebraic notation progressed through out three stages: the rhetorical stage, the syncopated stage, and the symbolic stage with which we are use to using in our daily usage of algebra. In ancient civilization math was used to help leaders to strategically form how their troops should be lined up for battle and help decide
This paper will show the history of algebra, how it started, and how it grew to be what it is today. It will show that it started it developments from the basic arithmetic operations that first were used to solve simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division and how it went incorporating more operations that permitted it to solve problems that involve abstract concepts. It will show that the recorded history begins mostly with the Egyptian papyrus, and how it went passing from one civilization
How Much Do You Know about the Birth of Algebra? Jiawei Xue Azusa Pacific University Abstract Typically, Arabic civilization had significant contribution to algebra we use today. On the other hand, the famous Arab mathematician Al-Khwarizmi own the title the father of algebra. However, there is evidence that the ancient Babylon had stone tablet where looks like people exploring fundamental idea of algebra around 2000BC. Additionally, there are other civilizations and mathematicians such as Egyptian
Anna Safavi Algebra and algorithm are two of the most used branches of mathematics. They are used in everyday life, algebra is used in financial planning, physical health and cooking, and algorithms are used in driving and finding the shortest path, scheduling and in computer programming. The history of algebra dates back to 1800 BC, in countries such as India, China, Greece, Persia and England. With the understanding that algebra and algorithms have a huge impact on our lives today, we will take

In the modern world, binary numbers have great importance in computer coding as well as in Boolean algebra Without the application of binary numbers, computers would not be able to exist or communicate with each other. Binary numbers include a base two number system rather than the base ten system which is used in a math class such as algebra. A base two system means that the only numbers that are used in that system and in binary those numbers are 1 and 0. A base ten number system beans that numbers
