| Abstract
|
:
|
Was my qualifying time fast enough to win the pole position? Can I finish this race without taking time for another pit stop? How fast can I take that hairpin turn? Because a few seconds or less can make the difference between winning and losing, race car drivers use math all the time to answer critically important questions like these.
