One of the most commonly asked questions in a mathematics classroom is, “Will I ever use this stuff in real life?” Some teachers can give a good, convincing answer; others hem and haw and stare at the floor. The real response to the question should be, “Yes, you will, because algebra gives you power” – the power to help your children with their math homework, the power to manage your finances, the power to be successful in your career (especially if you have to manage the company budget). The list goes on. 
Algebra is a system of mathematical symbols and rules that are universally understood, no matter what the spoken language. Algebra provides a clear, methodical process that can be followed from beginning to end to solve complex problems.
