For example, in our observatonal environmental assessment program, teachers are very reluctant to complete the formula for finding latitude and longitude. The good news is that the students seem more willing than the teachers. As with the environment, mathematical concepts are more relevant when infused into other topics and areas. Of course, there is a need for basic skills, but each discipline uses mathematics in different processes.
Environmental work relies heavily on mathematics.
We have engaged many student in mathematics work through their interest in the environment.
