Abstract
Mathematics problems involving basic computations, percents, ratios, tables, circle charts and graphs are used to illustrate environmental issues such as population growth, wastefulness, resource scarcity, air and water pollution, and electrical energy demand. A course, “Mathematics and the Environment,” that has been given successfully at the College of Staten Island for the past eight years is described. An annotated list of sources is given, from which additional mathematical problems related to the environment can be obtained.
