I recently read an article at "Gowelding.org" about "Fitter Math." He said, "Finally, I took a class on Fitter Math in welding school. I only know the formulas, how to manipulate them, and change them for my needs...but that is all you need to be able to do." So what is "Fitter Math", and do you teach it, or know who does?

Hi kdtbass, Fitter Math can refer either to the kind of math problems that fitter welders use, or, I believe, to a specific math course for welders. Khan Academy does not have a course for welders in particular, but does teach the necessary math skills to deal with welder fitter welder math problems.
From a quick peek i seemed the necessary skills were addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, geometry (angles, simple trigonometry, volume, circumference, diameter, radius, the Pythagorean theorem).
I hope this helps.
