This short distance learning course is a review of basic and various commonly found operator certification mathematics. Topics include word problems, simple algebra problems, simplifying expressions, evaluating and solving equations (chlorine and chemical). Real world operator applications are presented within the course content and a function's approach is emphasized. This review course is designed to provide students a basic review of math skills that provide a foundation for all future operator certification examinations. Throughout the course, mathematical concepts will be reviews with an emphasis on real-world operator applications, and treatment related technologies (filter, velocities, pounds per day and pumping questions. Other than providing continuing education credit for course completion, another goal of this course is to prepare the operator for advanced math problems commonly encountered in the certification examination.
