Using calculus of variations to optimize paths of descent through ski race courses
The goal of ski racing is to pass through a series of gates as quickly as possible. There are many paths from gate to gate, but there is only one path that is fastest. By knowing what the fastest path is, a racer could shave tenths of seconds off his or her time. That is a tremendous amount of time …
