Spacemathematics: A Resource for Secondary School Teachers.
Kastner, Bernice
Designed to serve as a supplement for high school level mathematics, this publication contains activities which aim to enhance mathematical knowledge and skills and to assist students in understanding aerospace technology and its achievements. This volume updates an earlier supplement that was published in 1972. Problems are grouped into chapters according to the predominant mathematical topic and within each chapter the problems are presented by similar themes. Major chapter headings include: (1) "Mathematical Aspects of Some Recent NASA Missions"; (2) "Computation and Measurement"; (3) "Algebra"; (4) "Geometry"; (5) "Probability and Statistics"; (6) "Exponential and Logarithmic Functions"; (7) "Trigonometry"; (8) "Matrix Algebra"; (9) "Conic Sections"; and (10) "Calculus." The appendix consists of an analysis of gravitational forces and the conic section trajectories. A glossary is also included. (ML)
