Electromagnetic Math: A Brief Mathematical Guide to Electromagnetic Radiation

Teachers continue to look for ways to make math meaningful by providing students with problems and examples demonstrating its applications in everyday life. Space Math offers math applications through one of the strongest motivators-Space. This book covers a single topic Electromagnetic Math. Electromagnetic Math is designed to be used as a supplement for teaching mathematical topics and in this supplement electromagnetism a science topic taught middle and high school. The problems can be used to enhance understanding of the mathematical concept, or as a good assessment of student mastery and also as a supplement in the science classroom, it is a good source as a complete study for electromagnetism and the mathematics applications. This collection of activities is based on a weekly series of space science problems distributed to thousands of teachers during the 2004-2010 school years. They were intended for students looking for additional challenges in the math and physical science curriculum in grades 6 through 12. The problems were created to be authentic glimpses of modern science and engineering issues, often involving actual research data. The problems were designed to be 'one-pagers' with a Teacher's Guide and Answer Key as a second page. This compact form was deemed very popular by participating teachers.
