Hey, I wanted to know if anyone knew of any good books for self teaching Algebra. I am currently using Khan academy and The complete idiots guide to Algebra (The sources are not bad when combined) I was wondering if anyone had any more books or websites such as those to reaffirm my grasp on algebra.
 
Mathematics news on Phys.org
Do lots and lots of algebra homework sets and exams. You can certainly find these online.
 
Sounds pretty solid, do you know any specific spots or good websites with plenty compiled? Ill start my search first thing in the morning.
 
I don't personally know any. Generally when I want practice problems I just google something along the lines of '[Subject] course websites', '[Subject] exams', etc.
 
Thank you very much ill definitely try it tomorrrow

The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'

I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
