Math Club Meeting: Paper Airplanes
Ever flew a plane before? A paper plane? While some people regard this more as a game, there’s actually a lot that goes into this simple and fun activity besides competing to see whose plane flies the furthest. Geometry, aerodynamics, creativity,…, you name it… are all necessary ingredients to making this activity fun and worthwhile. Tonight, we had a paper airplane flying contest in the Math Lounge in Science Building and competed in the hallway (all collisions were safe and no explosions occurred). We also planned out events for the next weeks or so and I think it’s going to be a quite interesting semester!
My paper airplane… I blame air resistance and gravity for dragging my plane within a meter or so from launch site… Perhaps I misread the instructions?
