In this episode of Algebra Applications, two real-world explorations are developed: Biology. Analyzing statistics from honey bee production allows for a mathematical analysis of the so-called Colony Collapse Disorder. Geology. Why do rivers meander instead of traveling in a straight line?

Ever since the mathematics of the Babylonians, equations have played a central role in the development of algebra. Written and hosted by internationally acclaimed mathematics educator Dr. Monica Neagoy, this video traces the history and evolution of equations.

An overview of the key topics to be covered in the video.

Honey bees not only produce a tasty treat, they also help pollinate flowering plants that provide much of the food throughout the world. So, when in 2006 bee colonies started dying out, scientists recognized a serious problem.

Why do rivers meander instead of traveling in a straight line? In going from point A to point B, why should a river take the circuitous route it does instead of a direct path?

In this Investigation we get a historical overview of equations. This video is Segment 1 of a 2 segment series related to Variables and Equations.

In this Investigation we solve linear and quadratic equations. This video is Segment 3 of a 4 segment series related to Variables and Equations. Segments 3 and 4 are grouped together.

In this video segment, get an overview of variables and equations, along with the evolution of algebraic notation.

This is a collection of definitions related to equations and similar topics. This includes general definitions for equations, as well as terms related to parts of an equation, different types of equations, and characteristics of equations.

In this Math Lab a hands-on activity has students comparing the diameter of a circle and its circumference. This video is Segment 2 of a 2 segment series related to Variables and Equations.

Watch this video about variables and equations. (The transcript is included.)

In this Math Lab we look at an area model for expanding the product of two binomials. This video is Segment 4 of a 4-segment series related to Variables and Equations.
