Abstract

Students who pursue careers in business, medicine, engineering, or architecture need robust mathematical backgrounds, with a particularly strong emphasis on problem solving. For example, when civil engineers are asked to determine the best placement for a cell phone tower, some of their thinking is related to schoolbased mathematical procedures and concepts. However, for the most part, they problem solve, using computer programs to construct mathematical models that relate the three-dimensional topography of the earth and the availability and cost of property for tower placement.
