| description | Advanced Placement calculus students from Yarmouth High School, located in Yarmouth, Maine, built a model rocket-engine test stand in May 2000. This project was used to reinforce calculus concepts. In addition, it furnished data for a future freshman-science rocketry project. Students used the concepts of the average value of a function, along with Riemann-sum approximation techniques and spreadsheet skills to determine the average thrust of a model rocket engine. |
