Identify Terms, Coefficients & Variables in Algebraic Expressions & Equations - [6-5-13]

More Lessons: www.MathAndScience.com
Twitter: JasonGibsonMath
In this lesson, you will learn how to identify various parts of an algebraic expression and equation. We will first learn about an algebraic term, which is anything linked by a plus or minus sign to another term. Next, we will learn how to identify variables in an expression, which are just letters used to represent unknown numbers. Lastly, we will learn how to identify the coefficients, which are just known numbers multiplied by the variables in an expression or an equations.

I am a 1st year electrical engineering student. I came across this guy while looking for materials or someone who could explain the subject to me in a way I can understand. From the very first time I watch him, I love his style of teaching and connect with his course content. So I ended up subscribe to his website about 2 weeks ago and have watched more than 30 videos of his teachings on Electrical Engineering and Maths. I have started skipping some of my online lectures so I can spend more time learning from him. This guy is a SUPER STAR. His type is rare to find. He is a phenomenal talented teacher!

You can tell from the first 2 min.

[@anonycreator2213]

Absolutely. His teaching methods are such that anyone can grasp the concepts. Thank you so much sir.

One of my favorite people to watch, thanks for making learning unique again.

I never took Algebra in High School, so glad I found you.. Life long learner interested in learning Algebra Thank you

[@Leviahthen]

Made my life easier, wish my Math teacher taught like this.

[@RelenaJenn]

Thank You, my daughter is in 9th Grade and is having a hard time, because she doesn't understand these terms. She wasn't taught this before, now she is taking Foundations in Algebra and is having a hard time. (I will have her watch this video after she watches her Computer Science, recorded test review lesson. -- she has a test tomorrow and she needs to get that done first. She is also frustrated because her Computer Science is talking about Algebra problems that she hasn't even learned yet. Though, I am trying to explain to her she doesn't need to worry about those problems, she isn't expected to know them yet.) Anyways, I love how you explained this simply for people to understand. More teachers should take time to explain these terms in this way. Because, it makes it easier for people to understand. Note: I was in Special Ed and was never taught this when I was going to school, so I greatly appreciate your help all the more! Thank You!

[@MathAndScience]

Awesome. Tell her I’m proud of her and keep at it. I was terrible in math in 7th grade!

[@obisvanainobis9950]

Ive been a huge slacker in all of my math classes and had huge gaps in my math knowledge. Algebra being one of them, I am glad there are people people who can explain such subjects in a simplest way possible. I want to fill in my gaps of knowledge and this was super helpful to get started

Basic idea of algebra, but very essential ones. Learnt a lot from this video. The way you present the lesson make it looked so easy. The explanation also very smooth and easy to follow. Very greatful find this video. Thank you very much.

[@michelleharris9297]

Hello I know you don't know me however I'm 40 years old I'm going to start college again it would be my fourth time in college and this time I plan to get somewhere with it I want do mechanical engineering and also do a few other things in engineering and I'm trying to relearn math again from beginning to end and I just seen your website and it doesn't hurt to ask however can I sign up for free and if not do you have your math in order somewhere so it can be so much easier to relearn or can you email me math from grade school all the way to beginning of college or 12th grade so I can make studying easier and I would like too continue learning from you .. I like the way you teach and thank you ... Please stay available for questions thank you

[@MathAndScience]

Hi Michelle, please shoot me an email at [e-mail] and I’ll set you up.

[@Edu888777]

Very good teacher

[@simpleman283]

When I saw the number by itself I was trying to remember what it was called. I knew it had a name but I just could not pull it out, but as soon as you wrote[ what is a constant I knew. I also knew with a lone variable the coeff, is 1.

[@MathAndScience]

Awesome you are well in your way then!

Can u also cover polynomials, coefficient and factors

[@MathAndScience]

Will do!

[@kelpacts7380]

Can u make a video on cosine law of vector addition

[@volkangundogdu1008]

In C programming the linking elements as you described here as + and - are called operators and the coefficient has a multiplication operator between itself and its variable, therefore any number is called constant. Well there is no coefficient element in programming.(of course a constant can be called as coefficient too, by naming it ) And the term is somewhat similar to the operand. Operand is the element which goes into operation with an operator. Expression seems similar even an “X”alone itself can be called an expression. I Just try to mention about similarities and differences b/w programming and mathematics. On the other hand the operators are often interpreted differently in C. For example an = sign can be an assign operator or an initialiser. It never claims that ex: x is equal to 2. (X=2 in math we interpret that x is equal to 2 in programming we try to say i load the value of 2 in a certain memory location represented by x) The value of X is 2 but the X itself is an entity (container, object, variable) which will exist during compile time + runtime or only during rt depends on where you have saved it.

this is what I also teach first ! what terms are ..if you get this it will be a lot easier to do equations. terms and factors

@@eddie-oz2rc Hey trust me I have been so frustrated when I first learned this stuff I used to snap the pencil in half because I was so upset. You aren't stupid. None of us are born with this knowledge. Start the video over, and go a bit slower and give yourself time to absorb it - you will get it. Don't give up - just yourself some slack, start over, and go very slow through it - don't speed-run it. Jason
