Texas Instruments: Numb3 Rs: The Chase

Curated by ACT

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson has students develop the concept of pursuit curves, in which one object moves according to the movements of another object. This lesson is framed in the context of an officer pursuing criminals, and students must adjust the officer's path at specific intervals in order to "catch" the criminals. Parametric equations play a large role in this lesson, although they are not explicitly mentioned.
