Promoting Understanding of Trigonometry for Technologically-Reliant Trajectories

该项目侧重于分析三角概念和技能，以成功地跨越三个技术依赖领域的“知识供应链”：半导体领域、图形艺术和声学分析与设计。该研究旨在研究如何在高技术职位（从技术人员到工程师或艺术家）的职业准备与高中的学术准备之间建立明确的联系，特别是在三角推理方面。据信，这种重新设计学校实践是必要的，以支持更大一部分人口追求和掌握与数学有关的概念和技能。

The project focuses on an analysis of the trigonometric concepts and skills needed to successfully traverse a "knowledge supply chain" towards three technologically reliant fields: semi-conductor fields, graphic arts, and acoustic analysis and design. The study is designed to examine how to establish an explicit linkage between career preparation for high technology positions ranging from technician to engineer or artist and the academic preparation of a high school in the particular instance of trigonometric reasoning. It is believed that such redesign of school practice will be necessary to support a larger segment of the population in pursuing and mastering mathematics-related concepts and skills.
