Contact Us The Math of Geography Our entry is about how
mathematics is used in geography. To study and understand
geography requires a knowledge of certain mathematical skills.
We give examples of situations in which math and geography are
used together. Our entry has a problem solving section. Students
can solve real and creative geography problems using
mathematics. Topics which we cover are longitude and latitude,
continental drift, time zones, scale and the four color theorem
of map coloring. It is our educational objective to teach other
kids about how one subject does not stand by itself, how we need
all subjects to understand one. It is also our objective to
teach other kids something about the geographic topics which are
covered in this web page. 19 & under Geography & Travel
