AMATH 186S - Math for Machine Technology II

5 Credits
This course covers the application of trigonometry to problems in precision machining and computer numerical control (CNC). It includes an introduction and analysis of trigonometric functions, basic calculations of missing sides or angles of triangles in order to find manufacturing dimensions. Other practical machine applications include finding measurement over wires, sine bar and gauge block calculation and corresponding indicator check. It culminates with higher level applications using trigonometry to determine point plots for CNC machining.

Prerequisite(s): Completion of AMATH 176S with a 2.0 or higher.

Course Outcomes

Solve problems using sine, cosine, tangent.
Represent trigonometric concepts verbally, numerically, graphically and algebraically.
Define and compare the 3 most commonly used trigonometric functions in terms of right triangles and the unit circle.
