There was this intriguing book....it is said that the number pi in base-11, contained in a dimension of square it will form a perfect circle; The Signature of the Creator.
Forgot what book was it.

Algebra deals in hypothetical; such as X=-5 if & when X+3=-2.
To answer your question rephrased, "Is God a hypothetical?" , (which is to ask,"God is?")
In scripture, God is not a hypothetical. He is a self-defining being that simply states,"I am".
Algebraic proof of the biblical God's existence would require that such a God is defined in hypothetical terms. This is simply not the case.
As a comparative, consider the definition of a human, as in "I think therefore I am". This being a hypothetical situation dependent on one or more variable (in this case thinking). You might state humanbeings algebraically as I(X)=I am.
It is not possible to prove (or to solve for proof of existence) with algebra. Sorry.
I believe the book you are referencing is "Contact" (by Carl Sagan). Good book (though IMHO the movie was not so much).

Well, being a semanticist I just have to pick apart your question. First of all, what do you mean by "God's existence could be solved"? Do you mean that God exists and there is a problem with his existence, which needs to be solved, or did you mean to ask if his existence could be proved with algebra?
As to the question, I think you'd have to start by showing you can prove anybody's existence with algebra.
Personally I don't think one can prove the existence or the non-existence of God. The best one can do is offer testimony concerning belief. Besides, no "proof" for or against God is irrefuttable.

I vcouldn't because I am not a math whiz. However I believe all of life's disciplines can contribute to finding God. And if you are a mathematician, it might well be that you could at least learn some things about God through maths.
I have learned about God in a planetarium. I have learned about God watching documentaries on insects.

Some people have enough trouble with the Bible. If you made it a math Bible, almost no one would be saved. And heaven would be full of asians and geeks.(they are good at math)
Most people stumble on the having to do good part, i don't think having to do math would be any easier for them.

Physics not algebra. Why in the heck does the universe follow laws. Who made up the laws. How in the heck are the laws simple enough that we can figure some of them out?

Uhh...Yeah sure let's try.
What is the greatest number in the world?
............
There is none. It does not exist.
This answer is equivalent to god.
Neither exists.
Ha, and yet, I'm failing algebra in school.

I'm not sure
but once I was in High School, my math teacher told us that mathematics has proved that God is one

No. You can't prove the existence of the tooth fairy with algebra either, so don't ask.

"No. God is imaginary."
So God is the square root of -1?
There ya go, proof of God with Algebra.
