Trigonometric andalgebraic identities are equations that state that two different forms represent the same function.What is Wrong?The mathematics teaching community is intellectually inbred. It appears as if the style ofpresentation of mathematical ideas is determined, to the detriment of engineers and otherstudents, by research mathematicians. The texts are for the most part similarly organized, andchosen by teachers who dutifully repeat their contents on the blackboard.

The intention is to make process safety anintegral part of the day to day work in the laboratory. The importance of safety in the unitoperations laboratory is reflected in the course syllabus, which states the first objective ofthe course as:“Develop a constant awareness of safety in the laboratory so that all laboratory work iscarried out in a safe manner.” (Caspary and Ellis, 1997)The MTU unit operations laboratory provides an ideal setting for teaching process safetyand for preparing chemical engineers for safety in the chemical industry.
