Integrals are fun! It’s like backwards math! But this flash isn’t really about integrals. Most of the flashes aren’t really about what the title says they’re about. Although I guess that’s fairly obvious by now. I don’t know why I even bothered mentioning it, but I did. And yeah.
Yeah, I had no idea where I was going with this one, so it just turned out to be… not very interesting. The idea seemed a lot more interesting in class, I guess. Oh well. It’s just another one of those “applying math concepts to real life situations” things, like this or possibly this (but not really). Anyway, that was the exact “real-life” problem we went over in class today.
The current financial crisis is all because some high school calculus students failed to make a roller coaster function that is differentiable everywhere. Because everyone knows that the economy depends on the success of fictional amusement park roller coasters.
