Notes for Applied Mathematics in Trigonometry and Earth Geometry/Navigation
Faulkner, Peter
Australian Senior Mathematics Journal, v18 n1 p55-58 2004
As time has progressed, the role of applied mathematics has become increasingly important. Indeed there are now more students enrolled in applied mathematics courses in senior high schools and colleges than in pure mathematics. Such courses become more relevant both to the student and to future employers, if the same constants and equations that are used in industry are reflected in the student's texts. The appropriate formulae for these constants and equations are featured in this article.
