Math in the Real World—on DVD-ROM

What do firing a bow and arrow and landing a plane on an aircraft carrier have in common? In a series of interesting situations like these, this DVD-ROM uses fascinating video segments and computer graphics to explore the math behind real-world events. A cross-curricular resource in math and physics, this DVD-ROM offers an innovative new angle on teaching and testing upper high school and college-level mathematics. The disc combines the power of video with the flexibility of computer-based learning to help students master the skills needed to create mathematical models—whether it’s figuring out how a race car interacts with a track or determining the forces working on a satellite in orbit. The program contains over 12 hours of video, including 15 mathematical modeling case studies, as well as text solutions, interactive exercises, explanatory video seminars, a built-in CAL program, and links to a related Web site. Requires a DVD-ROM drive. Original title: Maths for Engineers.
