Space Mathematics: Math Problems Based on Space Science (Dover Books on Aeronautical Engineering)

This is a great resource for High School science and math teachers. Problems with solutions are provided that show how the mathematics their students are currently learning find real world applications in space science and technology. Compiled by NASA personnel, these problems will both serve to instruct and to get students excited about space science and technology. There is a wide range of difficulty, from simple computations to fairly involved derivations.

Very well written . May be tough for high scool students. Delves into Matrices, Trigonometry,and some Calculus I would think the reader should be first or second year college level math.

its has everything i need thank u

If high school kids can get through this they are way more accomplished than I was at that age. This would be for the hardcore and rare teenager that loves math and space and is already at AP level. For me, I got as a basic review for some of my rusty skills for a new job role and for that it was too basic, but fun to revisit some stuff. Dated of course, with the shuttle focus but it's so rare to find math problems that use space as primary examples that I'm sure that can be forgiven. This would be something I might give to a high school senior to work over the summer right before they attend college, help them get in the zone if they are entering into a physics or engineering curriculum. Not sure anyone else would get anything out of it.

Cool book for an aspiring astronautical engineer. Most of the math is over my head at this point but it gave me some inspiration in my math courses because it has examples of a lot of the concepts that we are learning, but in a context that is less abstract than is covered in school. Basically it showed me why I care to learn the math by explaining how it is applied to astronautical problems. Cool book to have.

HS students who like math, physics, engineering , good assortment of problems you get in these careers. good background. although many problems difficult they are clearly explained, illustrated. HS students and freshman college students could study these problems, methods of solution so that when they encounter a very difficult problem on an exam and are stopped, they will think, "wait a minute, i've seen a part of this before".

Es un material muy fácil de entender, muy didáctico y es muy útil para entender los conceptos básicos de la ciencia aeroespacial. Excelente inversión.

My son loves this book. He studied it in his summary break between 8th grade and 9th grade. He is a bit of a math nerd, it still took him about 6 weeks to complete this book.

perfect for high school students interested in aerospace and math.

Son las matematicas que buscaba sobre el espacio

Really good book

Warning !This book has only solved problems. This book doesn’t cover any theory or derivations of any formulas. In order to solve all the problems independently one must have preliminary knowledge about calculus, trigonometry and higher level mathematics.If you think you have excellent knowledge in calculus and algebra/ trigonometry, this book is for you.However this book has explained all the solves problems nicely. But there is no derivation or theories in this book.

Good book for high school students
