Fall/Winter- Real Life Math Applications
Fall/Winter- Real Life Math Applications
Learn how engineering is made of everyday math! Can you calculate the mathematical constraints and linear programming to design a snack package that, when mailed to our school, safely ships the chips? Would you be able to use the slope/intercept form to determine how to safely create a bungee jump for a Barbie doll without a fatality on the first try? Math is all around you, but it's up to you to use to solve the engineering problems.
Applying Math in Bungee Jumping
Applying Math in Bungee Jumping
Is there a way to calculate how much elasticity would be needed to successfully drop a person bungee jumping just short of hitting the ground? Can you figure out a way to use slope calculations to determine how to create the most exciting and safe bungee jumping experience? Starz Amusement Park is counting on you!
Applying Math in Snack Packaging
Applying Math in Snack Packaging
Packaging companies must take into account the cost of supplies needed to fill packaging, the cost of packaging, the space provided inside the box, all while trying to make the most profit for their product(s). All of these constraints can be accounted for and calculated into linear programming.
