Mathematics for science and technology
£3.00
Maths is intimately entwined with science and technology, whether it is used to analyse data collected on plants in the Amazon rainforest, to calculate the trajectory of a comet or design a bridge to connect two countries. This means that science and technology go hand-in-hand with maths, and that a firm grasp of maths is crucial for studying any science and technology discipline.
This ebook, Mathematics for science and technology, will help you build a stronger grip with the maths helping hand. You’ll learn about the power of algebra, get a sense of scientific notation, the beauty of basic trigonometry and why 70 db (decibels) is 10 times more powerful than 60 db. As well as this you will delve into scientific measurement, including the importance of units and the flexibility and practically of the SI – the internationally recognised system of units based on multiples of ten.
After reading this ebook, you should be able to: understand the SI system of measurements, scientific notation and significant figures; understand basic algebra and solve maths equations; apply the basic functions in trigonometry; calculate probability of an outcome, the mean, mode, median and standard deviation for set data; and gain an understanding of logarithms.

Great learning material from the OU, ideal for anybody wanting to brush up on their skills!
by Mr. Robert Slack
This seems to be a check for people who already understand the material. It is full of gaps, mostly important material is missing. Absolutely useless.
