Maths at the fairground
These 'launchpad' pieces are based around a fairground. Consideration is given to the economics of rides and stalls, probability and expected values, forces and motion, and efficient use of space.
The compilation includes a time-lapse of the vehicles arriving and positioning the large stalls and spaces in a fairground. A helter skelter is seen being assembled and there is footage of the 'Booster' ride, which has two cars on the ends of two vertically rotating arms.
Includes a look at a sweet stall at the fairground and time-lapse footage of a rotating, multi-arm ride.
