How is air traffic controller related with math or mathematics?

I NEED IT FOR MY PROJECT PLEASE ANSWER ON THIS QUESTION HOW MUCH YOU CAN. Thank you for understandingHow is air traffic controller related with math or mathematics?
There is no need for higher math, despite some of these answers... (trig in 3-D?? really?)





Yes, there are lots of numbers, but you don't do fractions, apply cosine, or solve for X during a shift. The most you would do would be simple addition/subtraction to determine an intercept angle. For instance, if a runway is heading 210, and you need a 30 degree (or less) intercept angle, what heading would you put them on to intercept? Simple subtraction.





You DO need to know the 360 degree circle cold, and you better be able to do those simple math problems quickly, but most controllers simply round off for speed restrictions (for example), no need to tell someone to go 44 knots slower than another plane.





As far as determining conflictions by looking at speed and heading--this is simply something you get a feel for in training. You can't bust out a calculator to give pilots a turn. When dealing with altitudes, everyone who's IFR is at least 1000 feet apart, 2000 feet above 29,000 feet. Not rocket science.





There's plenty of difficulties in ATC. Math ain't one of 'em.How is air traffic controller related with math or mathematics?
Imagine this:


Your in the cockpit of a plane and you have a headset on. A voice (An Air Traffic Controller) comes on the headset and says:


';Cessna November 5082 Romeo, turn right heading 205, descend and maintain 2,000 feet until established on the localizer, contact Standiford Tower on 185.9';





THAT'S A LOT OF NUMBERS!


Your not the only plane in the air too. He has to tell a lot of planes things like that while plotting routes for them to follow. Imagine trying to take 20 planes and put them all on one of two runways. You have to demand an altitude, a heading, a speed in some cases, and give them frequencies for other Air Traffic Controllers. It's like Trigonometry times 1000.
I would take a look at the Federal Aviation Administration website, and they will have information on how to become an air traffic controller.


There is I believe alot of math involved you have to take a college course.
There's speed, time, distance, information that must be quickly esimated.


There's navigational direction instructions in 360 degree nomenclature.
It's trigonometry in 3-D.
