If you are still taking algebra in college, it is probably too late for you to ever make much use of math beyond arithmetics.
I have a question concerning terminology because I only know the senior year classes in the US - What I know as algebra is an advanced undergrad or beginning graduate university lecture (and a subdivision of mathematics) dealing with the properties of groups, rings and fields, and the solvability of equations in those. That is not what the last poster is talking about..? Or Nestor?
Also, holy necroquote!
