Basic
Mathematics: Operations and Formulas, is
an online coursedesigned to provide the basic
knowledge needed when solving mathematical equations. It is important to have a
solid understanding of math when working with the ASME Code.
Throughout
this course, students will gain an understanding for order of operations,
working with formulas, rounding numbers, and Pi. Students will also learn how to
solve for area, perimeter, circumference, lengths and span. Practice problems
are offered throughout the course along with several practice applications in
the final module.
