Mathematics and aviation have gone hand in hand since the dawn
of time. From the first flight of the Wright brothers, pilots have needed to
perform calculations for every phase of flight. From calculating the aircraft's
range to converting temperature.
Thus, mathematics has become an indispensable part of the
aeronautical world and any type of aircraft, regardless of its size and
performance. While modern aircraft are equipped with computerized
systems that perform all the calculations and relay the results to the pilot, in
less-equipped aircraft, it is the pilot who must perform all the computations
to optimize resources and ensure flight safety.
One of the mathematical cornerstones for aeronautical
computations is the mathematical rule known as the "simple rule of three."
A mathematical principle that has guaranteed success in aeronautical
calculations and remains relevant today.
In this work, you will not learn simple mathematics, but rather
mathematics applied to aviation. This is not a mathematics book; it is an
aeronautical book that will teach you some mathematical concepts to
optimize your flight.
