Pre-algebra is intended to give the learner a
running start at algebra: basic arithmetic, fractions and
decimals, measuring systems, powers of 10, basic equations ...
all that sort of thing.
The
subject is not an option for any viable career path. You
might not be engaging in a career where your are called
upon to exercise your mathematical skills on a daily
basis, but that isn't the important thing about a study
of mathematics that gives it
career asset potential. The power of math lies in a
proper study and exercise of the subject. Analytical,
orderly, and creative problem-solving are just as vital
in hospitality careers as in science and technology.
