Algebra

ILOVEJESUS: Added inventor

'''Algebra''' is a branch of mathematics. Invented by [[Pythagoreas]] in 1614.

Ordinary arithmetic deals with ''specific'' numbers, treated individually: 4 + 7 = 11.

Algebra uses letters that ''stand for'' numbers. These letters are called variables. For example,

x + y = 11

By using variables, algebra can go beyond individual number facts and express general relationships between ''sets'' of numbers. Thus, the equation above represents ''every pair'' of numbers that add up to 11:
*x could be 4 and y could be 7
*x could be 5 and y could be 6
*x could be 10 and y could be 1.

Debate:Is infinite regression ever valid as a form of reasoning, or acceptable as a way the universe works, or came to be?

ILOVEJESUS: Personal opinions belong on talk pages, not article pages

'''No.''' [[Infinite regression]] is a cop-out. It is closely akin to [[circular reasoning]], except that the line of reasoning is not so much a circle as a spiral, into the infinite past or at least through an infinite number of prior steps. For example: How did life originate on earth? It didn't--it couldn't have. So where did it come from? Did [[God]] create it? No--no God-talk in [[science|scientific]] circles. ([[Francis H. Crick]] once wrote a nasty letter to [[Winston Churchill]] suggesting that a brothel would be just as appropriate as a chapel at [[Oxford University]].) Therefore, life was deposited on earth from the outside. How? By a [[ballistic missile]] or a [[comet]]'s tail. Where did that life come from? From another [[planet]]. But how did life arise on that other planet? It didn't--couldn't have--too much information. Did God create life on that other planet? Oh, no. Therefore life was deposited on ''that'' planet as well. Where did ''that'' life come from? From ''another'' ballistic missile. And so on, and so on, for an infinite number of steps.
