  Ah but Giordano you do not live in an algebra free world. The programs that run the computer you are using to communicate, uses algebra as a basis. The dosage of the medication you take, is calculated with the use of algebra. The whole you live in was built using trigonometry.

  let me give you an example

  Your Dr prescribes medication based on your body weight

  He uses an equation similar to the following

  x= (dosage per pound of patients body weight) = 5mg

  y= Patients body weight body weight expressed as kilograms

  So yx = Patients dosage

  So if a patient weighs 100kg y would = 100

  X = 5mg

  So yx would = 500mg

  Besides all the practical uses for algebra ,algebra teaches logic skills.

  My layout is n gage and occupies 5 8x4 sheets of plyboard in my basement. It models the city of Boston and has spurs that run into the countryside replicating travel and freight between Maine and Connecticut. The railroads represented in my lay out include the Boston and Maine, New Haven ,New York Cental, Conrail, Amtrak and the MBTA.

  Stan have you gotten into brass trains yet. That is probably my next step. The details you are able to replicate with brass rolling stock is impressive.
