Applications development. Writing any reconciliation report requires the ability to tell the computer to solve for x.
I also am having some major repairs/renovations being done to my kitchen. I needed to get an estimate of the materials. Do “14 ft X 21 ft = how many 4 X 6 sheets of sheetrock?” Without algebra. Same thing for a tile floor in feet with 9” tiles.
You can probably solve those equations without even thinking about it because you LEARNED ALGEBRA. You just don’t notice that you use it all the time.
I will add this: You are driving from point A to point B. Your car gets X miles per gallon. Your tank holds Y gallons. Gas is Z $ a gallon. How often will you have to stop (pretend you are just a guy by himself so nature doesn’t intrude)? How much do you need to budget for gas? You can’t just guess if you are on a route where there are not frequent gas stations.
I use math every day, but I am an applied mathematician. I have worked for lawyers, doctors, engineers, biologists, chemists, and physicists. I see math everywhere and everyday. Probably 80% of my work is in algebra.
