Synopsis

Developed for classroom use, this volume spans a wide range of topics, from the mathematical aspects of NASA missions to computation and measurement, algebra, geometry, probability and statistics, exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometry, matrix algebra, conic sections and calculus.

Alongside building skills through fully worked examples, the problems highlight how professional scientists and engineers apply secondary school mathematics in aerospace technology. Numerous figures support the text, and an appendix introduces gravitational forces and conic section trajectories. Suitable for high school students and teachers, it also works as a review for undergraduate science and engineering majors.
