Animators have to draw all kinds of images and cartoons, and that requires them to use linear algebra for every movement a character or object can make. Algebra also helps create special effects to make images shine and sparkle. The requirements you must have to do this type of work are that obviously you must have talent, some sort of degree in animation and be quite good at mathematics. Animators earn about $47,000 a year. Another job that requires algebra would be that of an accountant. Accountants must use algebraic equations and many graphs. Mathematics is used to make sure things are balanced and everything is correct. Using algebra when doing bookkeeping is very important because it tells you or the person you are helping to know how much they can spend.

Accountants earn about $60,000 a year. A geologist is another job where algebra is required....
