Math & the Cosmos introduces students to the wonders of astronomy and its connections to mathematics, physics, history, and mythology. Explore the constellations, graph star charts, investigate planetary motion, and probe Newton’s laws; employ the math fundamentals of graphing, angles, trigonometry, and scientific notation in real-world contexts; and learn how ancient civilizations spun stories inspired by the stars. With this interactive, multimedia CD and included student text, student guide, and teacher guide, you will master a subject that rules our planet’s location, motion, and seasons while honing your skills in other disciplines.

Math prerequisites: Algebra I concepts of isolating variables, using ratios and scale, using exponents, reading tables, and plotting points on coordinate planes.
