Building Trigonometric Models: Graphing Trigonometric Functions
Models help students understand mathematical concepts as they occur in the natural world. In this program, trigonometry is used to model applications involving music, electricity and the Ferris wheel.
-
Derivation and Use of Trigonometric Identities
Viewers learn how to present basic proofs and verify identities. Highlights Pythagorean, reciprocal and quotient identities. Fermat’s Last Theorem is briefly discussed as one example of a long standing mathematical puzzle.

Acid-Base Titrations and Concentration Calculations
Hydrochloric acid is standardized using a sodium carbonate solution of known concentrate. The HCI titrant is used to titrate the ammonia. Data is collected and calculations completed to determine the concentration of the ammonia.
-
Acid-Base Technology and Society
Examines and evaluates uses of acids and bases in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Shows how acids, produced directly or indirectly, can lead to environmental problems such as acid rain.
-
Buffers and Buffer Systems
Buffers, and how they work, are explained in terms of the Brønsted-Lowry Theory and Le Châtelier’s Principle. Students explore the importance of buffers in biological systems and buffering action is illustrated using chemical reactions and pH curves.
-
Student Workbooks
Student workbooks are available for each program in the Math Factor series that help students practice their skills and improve comprehension and accuracy.
