Created by NASA, this collection of worked mathematical problems related to space science covers a broad range of subjects, including computation and measurement, algebra, geometry, probability and statistics, functions, trigonometry, conic sections, and calculus. Geared toward …
When astronauts fly into space to conduct missions, it is made possible because of precise mathematical calculations, from how the spacecraft leaves Earth's atmosphere to how the astronauts pilot the craft. How Astronauts Use Math reveals how designers use math to calculate dist…
To link up with a space station, repair an orbiting satelitte. get ready for a spacewalk, or just figure out when it's time to sleep, astronauts use math before, during, and after a mission.
