for 99.99% of jobs, you will never need to know algebra or the formulas or how they work. 97% of all jobs use 6th grade math or less to do their jobs. Only a TINY fraction of 1% of jobs, like theoretical Physics needs to know algebra. Computer programming is mostly done by the COTS method and only a tiny fraction of programmers or engineers ever use Algebra. It is a complete waste of time to take algebra classes in HS or College unless you plan to be in the tiny percentage of theoretical science jobs. Certainly the same is true of any higher math above algebra, like trig or calculus. 50 years ago before today's computers and software and apps, anyone who knew higher math had a great advantage in getting a job. But today it is meaningless to know for over 97% of the jobs in the current technology world. The largest number of people who need to know algebra are algebra teachers. That is like saying the people who need to know how to cook on a potbellied wood burning stove are people who teach others how to cook on pot bellied wood burning stoves.
Many people use Algebra, like doctors, builders, archetecs. Many people with good jobs use Algebra so that's why its is very important to learn Algebra. You truly use it in the future when you grow up.Algebraists use algebra.
You can get through many aspects of geometry without pre-algebra or algebra. However, when it comes to the measurement in geometry, you need algebra for that.
Yeah, you also need to take geometry and algebra 2 in order to graduate.
As by "who" i assume you mean what profession. Algebra is used a lot in banking, economics, and doctors who need formulas. But overall algebra is mostly used by college leveled advanced algebra teachers.
