Going for Gold: the Mathematics of Sporting Glory - Amandine Aftalion
Thursday 25 September, 5-6pm, Andrew Wiles Building
What is the best way to run to win a race? Why does a sprinter slow down before the finish line? Why do you swim better slightly underwater? Why, on a bike, the faster you go, the more stable you are?
Amandine Aftalion is a mathematician and a senior scientist at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS). She is author of 'Be a Champion, 40 facts you didn't know about sports and science'.
