Review: Space Mathematics: Math Problems Based on Space Science
Space Mathematics: Math Problems Based on Space Science by Bernice Kastner
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This NASA-created collection of pre-calculus mathematical problems is set up in a workbook format. Problems are presented with solutions immediately following and some blank pages for computations. The space science “story problems” come mostly from high school and first-year undergraduate algebra with contributions from geometry, probability, matrices, linear regression, trigonometry, and conic sections.
