Book Description:
|
The mathematical theory underlying many sporting activities is of considerable interest to both applied mathematicians and sporting enthusiasts. Here Professor de Mestre presents a rigorous account of the techniques applied to the motion of projectiles. An enlightening collection of sporting applications is considered: from soccer to table-tennis and from high-jump to frisbees.
