What can be discussed on alt.algebra.help?

As the name implies, alt.algebra.help exists primarily for the purpose of seeking help with algebra. Anything remotely related to algebra in some form or fashion is usually welcome here. Specific topics suitable for discussion include, but are not limited to, anything covered in a jr. high school, middle school, high school, or undergraduate algebra course, or their equivalent in countries other than the U.S. This does not necessarily mean that only ``algebra'' in the high school sense of the word is discussed. Other areas of mathematics are also discussed with varying frequency, e.g. geometry, trigonometry, calculus, probability and statistics, linear algebra, abstract algebra, and number theory, just to name a few. Educators also share teaching practices and experiences. Discussions concerning calculators and their (ab)use also occur with some regularity.

These are just some of the topics that are suitable for discussion here. While some areas of these subjects (or other higher mathematics) may be better suited for other newsgroups, as a general rule if there is someone listening here who can help you with your question, chances are they will. And, usually there is someone listening.
