Re: Is Algebra Necessary?
Yes, Algebra is necessary.
No, higher mathematics should not be required for all courses of study.
I honestly don't know what I'd do if I didn't know algebra, although I am in engineering and embedded controls, which probably biases me heavily in my use of mathematics.
That said, algebra also has applications in finance, which is (or should be) important to everyone.
