Algebra 1 Schools in California now have higher expectations to make it necessary for students to take a Algebra 1 course in order to graduate from high school. This requirement issues that it will help students achieve higher expectations and great problem solving skills in future references. People like Mitchell Rosen a licensed family counselor who also disagrees with having Algebra 1 be a requirement for high schools. In one of Rosens articles “Finding X is not a factor of living‚” he explains

Algebra Algebra was invented by the Muslim mathematician Al-Khwarizmi in the book he wrote in 820.

He is rightly known as "the father of Algebra The roots of algebra can be traced to the ancient Babylonians‚ who developed an advanced arithmetical system with which they were able to do calculations in analgorithmic fashion. The Babylonians developed formulas to calculate solutions
