Abstract

Algebra is indeed an interesting and intriguing field of knowledge. Many people fear and dread it, and­ yet what do they fear? Is not algebra a logical se­quence of simple facts based perhaps on a few self-evident truths? If people saw the value of algebra, they would strive more enthusiastically to understand its principles. John Locke has a fitting commentary on those who are unfamiliar with algebra.
