| The Mathematics of Gravity |
ABSTRACT: Solving world hunger should be an easy
problem. Unfortunately, it does not seem to be one that will be solved.
Gravity is a hard problem and one that seems we should not be able to
solve. However, thanks to Isaac Newton and others before him, we can
solve many problems dealing with gravity. In this talk I will show how
you can use elementary calculus to solve many interesting problems
related to gravity. I will present an algorithm that will allow you to
build a roller coaster. I will demonstrate the algorithm for you.
Hopefully, an undergraduate in the audience will use the algorithm to
make a fortune and help feed the hungry.
