Course Objective: The objective of this course is for students to begin learning the basic environmental math skills necessary for everyday commonplace activities at water and wastewater treatment plants.  It covers only part of the typically encountered environmental calculations and should be taken in conjunction with Part B in order to learn basic environmental math skills.
Course Contents: Virtual lectures and hands-on activities are set up in a series of three assignments to enable students to learn principles including (1) Calculations and conversions; (2) Significant figures and rounding; and (3) Effects of density on calculations.  This course is intended to be taken as the first part of  two-part series, with Part B covering concentrations, loadings, and averaging; determining removal rates and treatment efficiencies; using proportions and ratios; and logarithmic calculations.

Math is cool!  And, you will be surprised how much you enjoy crunching numbers while taking this course. 

Students will be provided with step-by-step detailed explanations and actual math examples to help demonstrate the principles.  And, students will execute a series of calculations to ensure their mastery of the basic environmental math skills.   
Learning on-line is fun due to our hands-on activities and virtual  exercises. Take this Course and Complete the Hands-On Assignments, and
YOU WILL LEARN!		 The Wonderful World of Widgets is fun, fun, fun! Test included. Certificates provided. Courses can be taken for credit  in many States, and applied for and pending in other States.
Course Limitations: This course does not cover all situations where environmental math will be required, but we're working on an advanced course covering other environmental math calculations while you are reading this.

The Wastewater Clarifications series of courses is designed specifically for water and wastewater treatment plant professionals and many courses also cover some environmental math principles.  The Wonderful World of Widgets has numerous calculations involved when applying environmental regulations.  Check them both out at  www.environmental-training.com
