Algebra is used almost everyday in all lives but without people even knowing it.
A simple wuestion such as "Apples are $1.00 a pound today a the market and I have $10.00 How many apples can i get" While you are standing there tryint to figure out how many apples you can get, you are using algebra.
On the commercial side of things algebra is used by pharmacists, doctors, architechs, engineers, landscapers, hair stylists (althought they don't know it), bakers (they don't realise it either), dress makers, accountants .......................and so on

you can use very basic algebra in almost any job (including sales, factory work, gardening, construction, etc)
more advanced algebra is used routinely in:
some kinds of accounting
engineering
computer programming
scientists of all kinds (chemists, physicists, biologists, etc)
stock market analysests
actuarials and others developing insurance systems
the list is actually very long, but you get the idea

Not sure but I thank God I took it because I have a comfort level above the ordinary when faced with math problems.
I did use it to figure plating amperes times per square inch for a given time. I'm sure there were others.
