Algebra 10 Describing & Changing Calculations

YOU are better than YOU think. Show yourself how:

      |
// _   _ \\
/\             /\
<| (o)   (o) |>
\     | |     /

In mathematics, sooner or later you need to learn to read like a lawyer. For that read logic chapters 1 to 5 in Three Skills for Algebra. Sooner is better. Good luck.

Describing & Changing Calculations

Talking about Two More Skills

Besides identifying numbers and quantities or talking about them, we can also describe and change calculations which include them or which say how to compute them. Simple calculations can be described with words alone or with shorthand notation. More complicated computations need the shorthand notation. Manipulating, changing or massaging (term learnt from a fellow instructor in 1984) of calculations, is best done with shorthand notation. Any description of a calculation with or without this shorthand notation gives what is called a formula. There is more to mathematics than just doing arithmetic precisely.
