On Thursday, December 1st CASH Calculus spent the whole class period calculating the first hill of a roller coaster. It was a project to learn how the skills that are gained through the course are used in the real world.

Using complex math the class was able to calculate the first hill of a roller coaster using Derivatives and Differentation Rules (The Product Rule and The Quotent rule) to create the initial curve.

The secondary piece of the calculation involved smoothing out the whole hill so that there was a smooth ride with no rough transitions.

At the end of class Mr. Roddin finished the graph out with Bernie Sanders riding the Desmos coaster.
