	The box of maximum volume		2006-02-01
		Elizabeth pose la question : A box factory has a large stack of unused rectangular cardboard sheets with the dimensions of 26 cm length and 20 cm width. The question was to figure what size squares to remove from each corner to create the box with the largest volume. I began by using a piece of graph paper and taking squares out.

		Kevin Palmer pose la question : With the Olympics fast approaching the networks are focusing in ona new and exciting runner from Greece. Thearcius Functionius has astounded the world with his speed. He has already established new world records in the 100 meter dash and looks to improve on those times at the 2000 Summer Olympics. Thearcius Functionius stands a full 2 meters tall and the networks plan on placing a camera on the ground at some location after the finish line(in his lane) to film the history making run. The camera is set to film him from his knees(0.5 meters up from the ground) to 0.5 meters above his head at the instant he finishes the race. This is a total distance of two meters(the distance shown by the camera's lens). Harley Weston lui répond.

	Two calculus problems		2000-03-03
		Tara Doucet pose la question : The height of a cylinder with a radius of 4 cm is increasing at rate of 2 cm per minute. Find the rate of change of the volume of the cylinder with respect to time when the height is 10 cm. A 24 cm piece of string is cut in two pieces. One piece is used to form a circle and the other to form a square. How should the string be cut so the sum of the areas is a maximum? Harley Weston lui répond.
