The Excelling Value of Algebra

 

By Elton Camp

 

Of everything that I’ve studied on earth,

Algebra proved to have the most worth.

From it don’t be led astray.

Later, you use it every day.

 

Whether you become a farmer or actor,

Many times expressions you will factor.

And quadratic equations are such a delight.

You will come to use them day and night.

 

It’s just wonderful to be able

To use a logarithmic table.

To succeed in life you have no hope

Unless you’re able to determine slope.

 

Multiplying binomials is a useful skill.

On a resume it gives the boss a thrill.

Knowing how perfect square trinomials to solve

Can very easily be the key to getting a better job.

 

For inequalities to know all about

Has much practical value, no doubt.

Exponents everybody surely does need.

And to solve them with greatest speed.

 

Strive to learn the values of X and Y.

If you can’t, you might as well die.

Algebra is just essential to learn

If a decent living you hope to earn.
