ABSTRACT
Most calculations required by environmental engineers (as with many others) start with the basics, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and sequence of operations. Although many of the operations are fundamental tools within each environmental engineer’s toolbox, using these tools on a consistent basis is important in order to remain sharp in their use. Engineers should master basic math definitions and the formation of problems; daily operations require calculation of percentage; average; simple ratio; geometric dimensions; threshold odor number; force; pressure; and head, as well as the use of dimensional analysis and advanced math operations.
