PPT 101 - Math
5.0 Credits
Application of mathematics to plastics process technician environment. Perform standard shop computations and conversions between measurement systems. Relevant mathematical concepts are taken from algebra, geometry, and trigonometry to help students apply formulas and common technical application problems. Basic math skills will be reviewed including decimals, fractions, and conversions between them. This course also includes the use and application of formulas required in industry. Students will learn properties of angles and common geometric shapes and relevant trigonometric functions, and they will be introduced to graphs and statistics. Note: This class is part of an AJAC apprenticeship program.
