The Trigonometry of the Right Angled Triangle
This unit from the Continuing Mathematics Project is concerned with the calculation of the sides and angles of triangles and how this is used by the surveyor, the navigator, and the cartographer. The development of the television, the light and the road have all relied on trigonometry. The objectives of the unit are that students…
The Theory of Logarithms: Part Two
This is the second part of the unit on The Theory of Logarithms from the Continuing Mathematics Project. It assumes that the user has completed the first part of the unit. The objectives of the unit are to enable students to: (i) acquire the concept of a logarithm as an extension of the concepts of a 'power' and of…
The Theory of Logarithms: Part One
These two units from the Continuing Mathematics Project assumes that the word 'logarithm' will be familiar to students using it, and that they will have used tables of logarithms to reduce the labour of working out expressions by arithmetic methods. The units assume that students are interested in knowing why logarithms…
Probability
This resource from the Continuing Mathematics Project has three units covering probability. Introducing Probability is the first unit and its objectives are that students will learn that a probability can be from intuitive considerations or actual experimental results; the meaning of 'outcomes', 'sample space',…
Positive and Negative Numbers
This unit from the Continuing Mathematics Project assumes that students have met and used directed numbers, but that their use has become rusty. The unit briefly justifies the rules by which the four operations (+, -, x and ÷) can be accurately carried out. In this sense the unit could be said to form an introduction to the…
Mathematics in Geography 4: The Gravity Model
For students to benefit from this Mathematics in Geography 4 unit from the Continuing Mathematics Project they should be familiar with simple ratios and square roots, and with algebraic symbolism and quadratic equations. A fair amount of arithmetic is involved in the unit. The objectives of the unit are; (i) to introduce students…
Linear Programming
