Learning on ScreenAll the Fun of the Fair
- Synopsis
- There is nothing quite like the thrill of a ride at the fair. But what is it that creates the thrills - making people actually enjoy the experience of being thrown around? The tracks in this collection look at the circular motion of four fairground rides, and focus in on ‘The Hellraiser’, mathematically modelling the forces at work. This material makes up part of the Open University course MST209 Mathematical methods and models
