Which is easier, Algebra or Geometry?

Different people have different opinions, according to how they think best.  If I recall correctly, a brilliant mathematician called Jacques Hadamard--who also happened to know quite a bit of psychology--wrote a book devoted to studying the modes of thinking of mathematicians, and it was his opinion that geometric and algebraic modes of thinking are indeed distinct from one another within the realm of mathematics.  In simple words: people who are very good at geometric reasoning can be a bit sloppy at algebra, and vice versa.\n\nAs for your particular case: ask yourself whether you are really good at seeing things.  Are you really good at visualizing objects in space?  Can you rotate the world in your mind?  If so, you might just be fit to be a geometer.  Are you quick at discovering patterns?  Are you very quick at performing calculations?  You might just be an algebraist in the making!  Cheers.

The "Made Easy" Series is great for math an sciences.  If you do the assignments, though you should be okay.

Here is a way to find more problems than you probably want to do - go to Google, and search for:\n\n"algebra I practice questions"   \n\n(grade 9)\n\n"geometry practice questions"\n\n(grade 10)\n\nBe sure to use the quotes.  I just tried and hundreds of nice sites woth good problems appeared.  Good for you for wanting to learn on your own!

algebra is practically easy...i myself am in algebra one, and im in 7th grade, if you have the math book for it, inside is a URL for an internet site that you can go to for extra help on the concepts and skills, and it won't just give you the answers, it will work out the problem with you, to let you know what to improve on.

It depends on your thinking processes.  Although, they are closely related and complementary in knowledge they are quite different.  \n\nAccounting is very mechanical.  There are lots of rules.  Many of them have to be remembered by heart.  Meaning they are difficult to reason your way back into them.  In other words, accounting logic can be somewhat counter-intuitive. \n\nFinance is often viewed as more complicated.  But, with some efforts you can reach a certain finance common sense.  The logic is more intuitive and easier to replicate. \n\nWhen I got my MBA I often noticed that the students who were good in accounting, often struggled with finance and economics.  And, the reverse was true too.\n\nI think a good comparison is Algebra and Geometry.  Algebraic formulas often have to be memorized cold, because you would be hard pressed to replicate them through logic.  Geometry, on the other hand, you stand a much better chance to reconstruct a theorem using logic and common sense.  \n\nAlgebra is like Accounting.  Geometry is like Finance.  That may give you an idea if you are more gifted for one discipline or the other.  If you were equally excellent in high school algebra and geometry you have a very balanced quantitative mind.  And, you will have no problem with either accounting or finance. \n\nIf you need further clarification, please contact me through "Answer."

It's not worth it at all. I took math lessons there. Didn't help a lick. Especially because I took it in the summer and then when I took geometry in the fall at school, my school teacher did it in a different order so I was totally lost.

Now keep in mind I am a recent college graduate...but I remember when I took Algebra 2, I struggled some...ended up with like a B (I think..hard to remember those details).  I did much better with Geometry though-so thats cool. I enjoy math though-isn't that ironic? I did very well in college though.

At my school it's just a pre-college Algebra course.  Basically you learn simple equations, graphing and matrixes.

geometry too? try your damndest, dont EVER give up, kiss ass, lol

Cool question.  I would ask your teacher the same question.  Hopefully, they might be able to make some changes to make learning easier for you.  Having a good grounding in math is a very important building block for almost everything in life - especially when you learn geometry and algebra.  \n\nGood luck!

Not just algebra...but anything in this world looks hard until we understand/learn it. So dont worry. \n\nNow, to give you some help regarding algebra. I I have answered a similar question before. Somebody asked what's the best way to teach algebra. I have answered them with a helpful link (see the link below), where they have video lessons of algebra for free. A professor teaches you algebra from scratch and gives real-world examples from time to time. He makes it look so easy that you not only would find algebra easy but interesting too. Here is the link.\n\nhttp://64.78.42.182/free-ed/Math/Algebra/Algebra01_VidLect.asp

I majored in math in college.  All my professors said the hard part about math is the English.  If you cant read it properly then you cant do the problems.  Another part is people dont want to learn the postulates and theoroms needed to solve the problems.

You can give geometry a logical structure and build on the simplest of facts.\n\nThese basic facts are accepted as being true and they are called GIVENS.  Euclid, the Greek mathematician called them AXIOMS.\n\nSo,  in geometry we start with basic facts or givens such  as  'vertically opposite angles are equal.' \n\nFrom this small collection of givens you can begin to prove other facts in geometry.   For example, you can proove that the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees.\n\nYou can use these proofs to prove other more complicated 'facts' about geometric shapes etc.  The great thing is that when you try to do this you don't have to keep going back and prove all the other things.  This approach is called DEDUCTIVE PROOF.  \n\nIn mathematics proofs are considered absolute.  Once a proof has been made it will always be true.\n\nThe abbreviations and symbols that are used are essentially the same as algebra.  This is a key point because rather than dealing with numbers you use symbols and then the proof is true for all values.\n\nA proof has to be set out logically and ALL the steps should be shown.  As you build the proof you use symbols such the three triangular dots for 'therefore' and ==> for 'which gives.'  Words such as 'necessary'; 'sufficient' and 'converse' are also used.\n\nAt the end of the proof mathematicians used to write QED which is an abbreviation for the latin 'quod erat demonstrandum' which means 'which was to be shown or proved.'  I think that has fallen out of fashion and people write 'which was to be proved' at the end of end with the last line of the proof.\n\nThere are other methods for making a proof.

If you complete an algebra course, you learn how to solve problems when not all the numbers are there for you.\n\nYou will also learn to notice patterns and develop more logical thinking skills.

Algebra is really very easy. Don’t get scared. You can teach yourself algebra\nAnd never tell yourself that you “are bad at math”. This nonsense, so many kids are afraid of math, or hate it, or think it is boring, simply because they never had a good teacher! Otherwise highschool math is really easy, simple! I have tutored a, supposedly ‘mathematically challenged” 7-grader, and after one year, she knew the whole highschool curriculum and passed GED math sample test!

b-a, at least if it is mathematics

I like math because its more something you can be sure about... like it was said before it has a definite answer, but also once you learn the formula's its easy, and for those who are not all that good at spelling, or art its a easy break out of English based subjects.
