We’ve all played computer games. Ever wondered how Donkey Kong moves across the monitor? The secret to his motion is mathematics. Find out how computer game designers crunch the math to create your favourite video game.
Why do we scream when we’re on a roller coaster ride? Does it have something to do with slope? Become part of a roller coaster design team and calculate the slope of a new roller coaster ride. Will the coaster be any fun? Find out first hand! 
Most of us want to play the stock market to win. But picking the right stocks isn’t a matter of luck, it’s a matter of research, intuition, and mathematics. Learn the formulas used by a market analyst, and then pick the winners yourself. 
Take an insider’s look at the making of a sportscast. Try your hand at being a sportscaster, and use mathematics and statistics to find out whether or not a sports record is likely to be broken. Is it record breaking news or not?
