Orlando Bull Posted April 24, 2008 Group: Member Topic Count: 0 Content Count: 5,900 Reputation: 628 Days Won: 5 Joined: 09/02/2007 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Algebra and geometry?What's your goal 123? Will you ever own a home? Maybe want to do some remodeling or repairs? I could see geometry being somewhat valuable there (of course, there are definate work-arounds).Algebra is useful at times, I bet a lot of you use it way more than you think, but you don't realize it because it is pretty natural.--- fortunately, I don't think I am the only engineer posting here, but I am probably the most obvious. Don't discourage anyone though. Work through it, if you don't need it later in life, I guarantee that it won't hurt you to know it.Good luck on the test when you have it.

What kind of engineering work do you do?And yes - Algebra and Geometry are great skill. Plus you can answer the math questions on "Are you Smarter Than a 5th Grader?". ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
