Annotated planCorrelation between mathematics and science with space3/10/2014I.IntroductionA. “It is clear that every step of my career has been based on a solid foundation in mathematics. For me, the study of mathematics was the key that opened the doors to the universe. »(ROBERT L. STEWART, NASA astronaut)B. Math and science are necessary for space exploration. The work NASA is doing demands increased attention to STEM in our education system.C. In this section, we will discuss the importance of mathematics and science as it correlates with space. The three main themes are:1. Mathematical correlation with space2. Scientific correlation with space3. Advantages and Disadvantages of STEMII Education. Mathematics and spaceA. Space exploration and many other technological discoveries have been made using mathematics.a) Mathematics-based tools used by NASA• GPS o A global positioning system consisting of 24 satellites put into orbit by the U.S. Department of Defense o GPS does not send data to the transmitters that actually receive it o Once the data is received, the mathematics does the rest to provide a precise location. • Image Digitization and Coding o Defined as the process of transferring information into a digital format. o Information is organized into distinct units of data called bits. o Bits are also stored in groups called bytes. o Digital devices with computing capability, such as a digital camera or television, process this information and are able to convert it. o NASA uses digitalization to get a clearer view of space, planets and the moon. They also use it to store archive images and information dating from the 1960s in a computerized system. • "Slingshot" or "gravitational boosting" for optimal trajectories and Exploitation of Lagrange points for strategic purposes... ... middle of paper.. .... a major role in the economy.E. Advantages1. Filling the job shortage due to unskilled employees, many industries are looking to fill thousands of jobs, which will be possible with more college degrees available.2. More STEM student interest in space programs3. Innovations, inventions and new ideas for the futureF. Disadvantages1. Other important non-STEM fields, such as literature and art, are marginalized2. Many children think they lack basic math skills and are not interested in basic education3. It might be more expensive to fund STEM programs due to technology and hardware.G. Mathematics and science play a major role in all aspects of the world's activities. They also play an even more important role in the stem world, helping to push technical boundaries and the development of new products generating improvements for the space world...
