Variables and Equations
Description
Since the time of the Babylonians, variables and equations have played a central role in mathematics. But despite its ancient origins, algebra remains a tough subject for many of today's students and it's wise to provide them with powerful visual aids. In this program, internationally acclaimed mathematics educator Dr. Monica Neagoy traces the history and evolution of algebra and explores the two principal equations encountered in introductory algebra courses-linear and quadratic. Problems involving linear and quadratic equations are solved using the TI-Nspire graphing calculator. Concepts examined in the video include variables, equations, functions, formulas, linear functions and equations, quadratic functions and equations, and solving equations graphically.
