The aim of the exploratory method research centered on the presence of mathematical tools in STEM through three main questions: Is mathematics an essential tool in the field of STEM? Can mathematics complete projects solely with mathematical and digital tools? Does understanding mathematical modeling affect STEM teaching? A better understanding of…

The development of the idea that "The essence of mathematics lies in its freedom," a quotation from Cantor, is discussed. Several examples are given of relative truth, and the problem of consistency is discussed. Mathematics and its relationship to the physical world is also explored. (MNS)

The length of the longest ladder which will go round a right-angled bend in a corridor is found by five methods, none of which involves calculus. (MM)

Develops formulas for the number of bounces of a ball on a billiard table given an original path-angle. (MM)

The course outline has been prepared as a guide to assist the student in becoming proficient in trigonomical functions. This aids a machinist in making a complicated set-up so that he can perform a precision machine operation. The guide helps the instructor concentrate on the specific review that will be needed. After the review, the student is…

The history of the development of trigonometry is outlined from 140 B.C. through the sixteenth century. (MN)

The intent of this text is to provide students in a variety of science and technology disciplines with a basic understanding of mathematics commonly used in introductory texts in such disciplines. The first five chapters develop skills needed for efficient numerical calculation. The last five chapters examine the basic properties of elementary…

The fourth of four quins intended to develop computational skills with non-negative rational numbers through applications to business and industry, this guidebook on minimum course content is designed for the student who has acquired basic computational skills with non-negative rational numbers. Topics include ratio, proportion, and percentage…
