Apply mathematics to understand Earth’s natural satellite and future missions to the moon. Problems in Lunar Math use mathematical applications to explain concepts such as the physical features of the moon; the probability of a meteorite impact on the lunar surface; and how oxygen might be extracted from moon rocks.

The problems in this guide include basic mathematics, algebra, geometry, and some trigonometric functions. The one-page assignments are accompanied by one-page answer keys.
