Historien om forfølgelseskurver starter med en opgave om at finde ud af hvordan et piratskib der sejler hurtigere end et handelsskib kan indhente det og hvor længe det tager. Det giver ophav til allehånde konstruerede opgaver, hvoraf nogle få faktisk optræder i virkelige problemer.
Jeg kan ikke helt finde ud af hvad jeg mener om Nahins bøger. Der er mange integraler i dem og der er jeg ikke så interesseret i. De her opgaver og forsøg på at analysere kurverne, ville jeg nok kaste en computersimulering efter i stedet for at prøve at finde formler og diverse integraler. Der er lidt om hvorfor tractrix kurven er interessant i en historisk sammenhæng.… (mehr)
