Introduction to Algebra: Using Variables

from Professor Dave Explains · host Professor Dave Explains

When we learn math in school, for a while it's just called math, but then one day around 8th grade, it's suddenly called algebra, and every math class after that has a special name, too. But don't worry, it's not so scary! It's just a new set of symbols and algorithms to become familiar with. But don't forget that at one point you had learn the plus and minus symbols and what those meant. Soon, algebra will be just as easy as arithmetic!
