Caples, Linda Griffin
Mathematics Teacher, v85 n1 p56-61 Jan 1992
Methods use to reconstruct traffic accidents provide settings for real life applications for students in precalculus, mathematical analysis, or trigonometry. Described is the investigation of an accident in conjunction with the local Highway Patrol Academy integrating physics, vector, and trigonometry. Class findings were compared with those of the Highway Patrol. (MDH)
