The Excelling Value of Algebra

The Excelling Value of Algebra

By Elton Camp

Of everything that I’ve studied on earth,
Algebra proved to have the most worth.
From it don’t be led astray.
Later, you use it every day.

Whether you become a farmer or actor,
Many times expressions you will factor.
And quadratic equations are such a delight.
You will come to use them day and night.

It’s just wonderful to be able
To use a logarithmic table.
To succeed in life you have no hope
Unless you’re able to determine slope.

Multiplying binomials is a useful skill.
On a resume, it gives the boss a thrill.
Knowing how perfect square trinomials to solve
Can very easily be the key to getting a better job.

For inequalities to know all about
Has much practical value, no doubt.
Exponents everybody surely does need.
And to solve them with greatest speed.

Strive to learn the values of X and Y.
If you can’t, you might as well die.
Algebra is just essential to learn
If a decent living you hope to earn.

Oh Simple Math

Oh my math! Oh my math!
You are a head ache or clear cache,
I don’t understand you till I solve, 
Is it a part of my problem solve?

Oh dear math! Oh dear math!
Please be simple, don’t be so tough,
You want me to practice, doing some rough?
It’s so hard, I want to give up!

Oh toughest math! Oh toughest math!
Whenever I solve algebra,
I never take it as easy to see zebra,
 Whenever I solve integers,
I always think about strangers,
Whenever I solve linear equations,
There stands a line of questions!

Oh annoying math! Oh annoying math! 
Whenever there is a doubt,
I tell my teacher to sort it out,
Always one answer on the tip of her tongue,
Practice, practice and practice ample,
You becoming a mathematician, will become simple!

Oh simple math! Oh simple math!
Solving maths is full of fun,
Maths is nowhere tough, no need of rough,
It’s never so hard to give up!

Algebra

ALGEBRA


Satan's hallucinations made him giggle,
Numbers and letters made to wiggle,
Satan arose one morning,
A day on Earth a'dawning,
Satan spake from far above,
Fist in his iron glove...
" I mix numbers and letters,
To make mathematics better,
Evermore there shalt be...
ALGEBRA!!!!!!"

Yes, numbers and letters made to wiggle,
Satan's hallucinations made him giggle.


A Note To My Algebra Teacher

A Note To My Algebra Teacher

By Elton Camp

I well recall what you used to say
That we’d use algebra every day

Without it, life wouldn’t be complete
For, with algebra, it would be replete

But factoring equations has yet to arise
And no quadractics, what a big surprise

Slope I haven’t yet needed to calculate
Methinks you did, somehow, misstate

To determine the value of X and Y
There hasn’t yet been reason to try

I find binomial multiplication is of no worth
To ninety-nine point nine percent on earth

A lot more honesty you should have tried
For about the value of algebra, you lied!

I think I know where you are most likely to be
May it have asbestos computers so you can see

A State of Majors and Algebra

A State Of Majors and Algebra

From a bridge I lift eyes weary from equation forms
Majors and Algebra instruct 
From on high the state loves us
Instinctively feed us what we must know 
Keep us in place for hours 
Guns on every head…to get ahead
Conclusions always drawn on time
Lines of math carried like conversations to their ends
Fractions fix themselves in front of us
Captured by majors on their heels
Algebra comes undone
Undressed for our consumption
Work, like dreams, goes on forever
Tonight it waits for majors and algebra to merge
Ranks remove me to seclusion
Books fall with rain into retreat
Lives are bulletins with holes
When government controls
Shocked to life with streams of data
Or shot to death in line with reason
Options can be unkind
No one inspects the dark
Perhaps it is not there
No one suspects me
In this my figures lie in wait
To see what moves prove
A state of majors and algebra
Or my escape

Vector

VECTOR 

I am scalable                                                                                                                                                                     Because I am measurable.                                                                                                                                                 I have a magnitude,                                                                                                                                                        which I express it in unit with gratitude. 						                                     Physcists call me Scalar,  									         maths make me popular.

I am also scalable with direction,								          For my complete specification.									         My direction is significant,								                    magnitude too is important.  									             An arrow is placed on my head,									                         It’s my sign, as Vector I lead.

Vector algebra is interesting,								                          all problems start resolving.								                        My addition is commutative,								                          Needless to say even  associative and distributive.							            Dot Product is Scalar,										              Cross Product is vector.

Vector gradient	,										          makes scalar field variant.                                                                                                                            Divergence causes Net flux per unit volume,		                                                                                            Then fluids automatically spume.									                                                                Curl  results in fluid rotation,									  leading to whirlpool detection.										

Vector algebra is meant for solutions								                      To all natural phenomenal complications.							                    The applications lie in all dynamics.				                                                                    scientists  stores them as informatics.


Tested On Algebra

You give me questions.
Most of which I can answer.
Tested. Algebra...

Life Algebra

Wake, shower, brush, drive
Oh the thrill of being alive
 Work, drive, chores, eat 
The sequence is almost complete
Shower, brush, sleep, wake
Learning math’s a big mistake

Premium Member An Algebra Poem

Every now and then I am asked to write a poem…an honor for which I feel blessed…
but yesterday, in all honesty, I received a very strange request.

I recently wrote a poem on how basic math relates to life…which must have left one reader in awe…because he asked me if I could do the same with…wait for it…Algebra.

Apparently he has grandchildren who need a little persuasion…as to why they need to study symbols and equations.

First of all…Algebra can be funny…it’s not all boring numbers, symbols  and graphs…Here’s a joke that to this day…makes algebraic mathematicians laugh: 

To answer the who, what, where and when in life other mathematical processes apply…but Algebra is the only one where you can find an answer for Y.

I know studying letters and symbols can be a source of agitation…but did you know we use Algebra every time we make a calculation?

As a child when you saw a toy across the room or even those candles on the birthday cake you were blowing…you were calculating distances, using Algebra…yes, without even knowing!

In sports any time you throw or catch or kick a ball…or when you’re older…determining the spread…all these moments you are instinctively doing Algebra in your head.

At thanksgiving as you cook your turkey…Algebra is there to please…it helps you calculate how long it takes to cook a 20 pound turkey…at 350 degrees.

Without algebra we wouldn’t have TV, or video games and over us a decision would loom…when we’re redecorating and trying to determine the area of a room.

Or how much grass we need to landscape our lawn…and we’d be considered a fool…if our calculations were incorrect and our back yard was too small for our pool.

Algebra helps us determine a healthy diet…more vegetables…less fries…
and given our height, weight and body mass…the best form of exercise.

It’s true we have Google, Alexa and Siri now…all products of Algebraic conception…but what are you going to do when the electricity goes out…and you no longer have reception?

So please go to Algebra class…do your best…you don’t have to be a whiz kid…
Because when you’re older looking at that 20 pound turkey…and Alexa has no answer…You’ll be glad you did.

Tested On Algebra: Part Two

This is really bad.
“Algebra Two” doesn’t 
Compare to last year.

Premium Member Algebra Salgabra

It was ridiculous 
Maniculous, fradiculous, arithmodus, calcrickulous.

A form of math I had never seen.
A counting in a way quite mean
Not algebra, not palgebra.
Something weirdly salgabra.

The newest new new math the teacher bragged
It was so slimey and sneaky,
So algebra-creaky
So non-user friendly
It had no parts bendy

I called up my doctor, I called up a priest
A lawyer, a dentist, a baker with yeast
Beats me they all said
As they scurried away
Never saw anything like it
Back in the day

To Dawn In My Algebra Class Updated

Your name is Dawn.
I know you hate my nose!
And I have mother-of-pearl
Snaps
On my clothes,

But truth is,
Seven months I have been waiting,
To ask you out!
(Don’t know for sure ‘f your folks
 Will welcome dating)

BUT

I haven’t got a Chance
Of forgetting you,
So, if you think, ‘no’,
Just… before you do,

Remember,
I am not all that I seem.
I think of you,
And float into a dream

I see your eyes, as green
As unripe, exotic wood,
And wonder whether you feel seen,
Feel understood

I look at you,
And Have to catch my breath!
I admit, I have hope fluttering in my heart!
You smiled at me,
My heart wrenched right
(And that’s no shibboleth)

Okay, I hope that helps… that you have heard,
And will respond by saying ‘yes’!

Heartfully Signed,
And hoping to be undeferred

Andy

X-Factors

by Wayne Wysocki

Hello, my darling variable,
'Tis me, your dear unknown.
How'd you like to take a chance?
You'd not be all alone.

We'd make a fine equation;
'Twould equal none we've known.
Just you, my darling variable,
And me, your dear unknown.

Algebra Equations All Day and Writing All Night

Algebra equations I’m performing while light 
And then I go home and write till late in the night
Hanging out with me might cause you a fright
You may be my poem subject tonight!

Evil Poem
By Caroline
"Tested On Algebra"
This "poem" is really bad
In fact, it is kind of sad
If this poem was a physical object, I would impale it with a spike
This poem's author can't even ride a bike
Soup
By Lucas
A culmination of flavors, combined into one,
Chowder, French onion, chicken noodle galore, just some examples of soup, but wait... 
There’s more!
Minestrone, Cream of Mushroom, Split pea, and bisque,
Soup is simply an amazing dish.
