About the Book
Created by NASA for high school students with an interest in space science, this comprehensive collection of worked problems explores a wide range of mathematical subjects relevant to aerospace technology. Covering essential topics such as the mathematical aspects of NASA missions, computation, measurement, algebra, geometry, probability, statistics, exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometry, matrix algebra, conic sections, and calculus, the book serves as both a learning tool and an exploration of real-world applications.
Geared primarily toward high school students and educators, this volume provides a solid foundation in the practical uses of secondary school mathematics by professional scientists and engineers. It not only enhances mathematical knowledge but also fosters an appreciation for the role of mathematics in space exploration and aerospace technology.
The book includes numerous figures that illuminate complex topics, making abstract concepts more accessible. Additionally, an appendix explores the advanced topic of gravitational forces and conic section trajectories, offering students further insight into the application of mathematics in the physical sciences.
This book is also an excellent review resource for undergraduate science and engineering majors, providing a bridge between high school mathematics and its real-world applications in cutting-edge scientific fields.
