During his speech at the Creating Digital Dividends Conference in October 2000, Bill Gates said, "I’m a great believer that any
tool that enhances communication has profound effects in terms of how people can learn from each other, and how they can achieve the kind of freedoms that they’re interested in." In what ways does algebra act as a tool to improve communication? How does algebra affect how people can learn from each other?
If you look at it this way, one can say that algebra does act as a tool to improve communication in the sense that, it is similar, in a way, to learning a new language. You don't rush into it, you start rather gently, little by little, step by step before you can say, you fully get it. We can then agree that this will improve one's communication prowess because the person would be learning something new with the help of some other people.
