App1; Introduction to AlgebraBackground: The MathsReduced series of 21 Apps has been developed around a philosophy of learning based on beliefs such as:1. The mathematics that exists today has frequently developed as a result of mankind needing to have reliable methods for solving practical everyday numeric problems.2. Over the centuries, the teaching of mathematics has sometimes seemed to have moved significantly away from its practical, and often relatively simple origins. We in MathsReduced believe that the present learning and teaching of mathematics, and especially algebra, has sometimes lost sight of the critical question Why Mathematics?3. Consequently, the MathsReduced series of Apps on Introductory Algebra, has the following main aims:- To remove what is sometimes seen as a sense of strangeness or - To clearly convey the importance of solving practical everyday- To stress the importance of a consistent approach to the - To use the various characteristics of a computer-based device to the - In other words to bring the subject of Algebra to life mystery from Algebraproblems in the world of Algebraunderstanding of algebraic problems, their description, and ultimately their solutionmaximum degree when solving algebraic problemsApp1: An overviewApp1 in the MathsReduced series begins by tracing the origins of Algebra about 4,000 years ago. Some of the main aspects of the subject are then introduced. Particular attention is givento certain relevant rules, and everyday uses. The earliest historical uses of Algebra are noted, and the importance of solving sharing problems is highlighted.
