Each week, you will be asked to respond to the prompt or prompts in the discussion forum. Your initial post should be 75-150 words in length, and is due on Sunday. By Tuesday, you should respond to two additional posts from your peers.
History of Algebra
Algebra is a subject that was not created by one person. While al-Khwarizmi is credited as inventing algebra, many mathematicians such as Diophantus, Brahmagupta, and Rene Descartes also participated in advancing algebra.
For your discussion this week research the history of algebra. After you have researched and read multiple sources, summarize in your discussion post what you have learned. Reflect on what you learned by talking about what you found interesting and how it may have changed your perspective on algebra. References to a minimum of 2 sources are required.
