  2. Mathematical discussion of rangekeeping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_discussion_of...

    Early in World War II, target range and bearing measurements were taken over a period of time and plotted manually on a chart. [14] The speed and course of the target could be computed using the distance the target traveled over an interval of time. During the latter part of World War II, the speed of the target could be measured using radar data.

    During World War I, computing a target intercept course for a torpedo was a manual process where the fire control party was aided by various slide rules [13] (the U.S. examples were the Mark VIII Angle Solver (colloquially called the "banjo", for its shape), and the "Is/Was" circular sliderule (Nasmith Director), for predicting where a target ...

    Mathematics education has been a topic of debate among academics, parents, as well as educators. [4] [9] [195] [38] Majorities agree that mathematics is crucial, but there has been many divergent opinions on what kind of mathematics should be taught and whether relevance to the "real world" or rigor should be emphasized.

  5. Targeting (warfare) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Targeting_(warfare)

    Targeting is the process of selecting objects or installations to be attacked, taken, or destroyed in warfare.Targeting systematically analyzes and prioritizes targets and matches appropriate lethal and nonlethal actions to those targets to create specific desired effects that achieve the joint force commander's (JFC's) objectives, accounting for operational requirements, capabilities, and the ...

    Paper 1 (Duration: 2 Hours): Questions are categorised into Sections A and B and are tested based on the student's knowledge to grasp the concepts and formulae learned during their 2 years of learning. Section A consists of 12 questions in which all must all be answered, whereas Section B consists of 3 questions and students are given the ...

  7. Fire-control radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire-control_radar

    A fire-control radar (FCR) is a radar that is designed specifically to provide information (mainly target azimuth, elevation, range and range rate) to a fire-control system in order to direct weapons such that they hit a target. They are sometimes known as narrow beam radars, [1] targeting radars, tracking radars, or in the UK, gun-laying radars.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Math_wars

    The largest supporter of reform in the US has been the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. [4]One aspect of the debate is over how explicitly children must be taught skills based on formulas or algorithms (fixed, step-by-step procedures for solving math problems) versus a more inquiry-based approach in which students are exposed to real-world problems that help them develop fluency in ...
