The Particle--Motion Problem.

Peer reviewed

Demana, Franklin; Waits, Bert K. – Mathematics Teacher, 1993

Discusses solutions to real-world linear particle-motion problems using graphing calculators to simulate the motion and traditional analytic methods of calculus. Applications include (1) changing circular or curvilinear motion into linear motion and (2) linear particle accelerators in physics. (MDH)
