 Sep 14: Added a "My Algebra.Com" page for all "My Stuff"
Now you can look at everything "yours", such as your questions, your solutions, your lessons, solvers, and messages, on one convenient dashboard called "My Algebra.Com". Please report all bugs to ichudov@algebra.com.
 Aug 13: You can now plot INEQUALITIES with this solver.
Now you can plot any inequality involving x and y, on a graph. Students would use the above inequality solver, and tutors could type something like "graph( 500, 500, -10, 10, -10, 10, 2x-y < 5) ".
 Jul 24: Algebra.Com is now on Twitter
Not to be out-twitted by others, Algebra.Com is now on Twitter. All new unsolved problems are posted to Twitter, so that math addicts who are also Twitter addicts, can help students solve problems and be notified with your favorite Twitter software.

Algebra.Com offers you a unique opportunity to be helpful to children seeking math help, and at the same time to promote yourself and advertise your tutoring business. Here's how it works. You create a FREE account on algebra.com, where you would have a username, your picture if you want, and enter a link to your site.

Students ask questions in the FAQ section of my algebra modules. Every module has such a FAQ section. You would answer students' questions. See Quadratic Equation module for an example of such FAQ section.

After registering, you can visit a section with unanswered questions and answer them. Your name, link to your site, and your picture will be displayed next to your answer. I am planning to implement a score system, sort of like feedback system on ebay, where the tutors with the highest number of correctly solved problems will have the highest score.

It is an absolute REQUIREMENT that you MUST SHOW ALL WORK. Showing work is the best way to demonstrate your competence. Solutions without sufficient work shown are worthless.

See our site stats to see what kind of visibility you will get. No matter what your goal is -- self advertising or helping children understand math -- your effort will not be in vain.

You can also enter formulas like this: quite easily. You can accomplish that by typing {{{(-2+- sqrt(4^2-4*2*3))/(2*5)}}} in your answer. You can also create graphs: by typing {{{ graph( 150, 100, -5, 5, -10, 10, x^2-2x+1, 3-x ) }}} in your answer.

Ad: WyzAnt In-Home Tutoring has thousands of local math tutors available.

More than one tutor can enter an answer to a problem. All your solutions will count towards your score, but beware of duplication. Plagiarism and sloppiness will not be tolerated. Add your answer only if you feel you have something non trivial to add. I am not going to be super strict, my main goal is to make this a useful and helpful website, not to be a control freak.

Copyright to your solutions belongs to this site, however, they will be publicly displayed and users will not be charged fees. Your help is purely a public service.
