Euler's Method scene in Hidden Figures

  • Not Synced
    The problem is
  • Not Synced
    00:00when the capsule moves from an elliptical orbit to a parabolic orbit. There's no mathematical formula for that.
  • Not Synced
    00:09
    Because we can calculate launch and landing but without this conversion the capsule stays in orbit, we can't bring it back home.
  • Not Synced
    00:18
    Maybe we've been thinking about this all wrong.
  • Not Synced
    00:20
    How's that?
  • Not Synced
    00:26
    Maybe it's not new math at all.
  • Not Synced
    00:30
    It could be old math.
  • Not Synced
    00:32
    Something that looks at the problem numerically and not theoretically. Math is always dependable.
  • Not Synced
    00:39
    For you it is.
  • Not Synced
    00:47
    Euler's method.
  • Not Synced
    00:49
    Euler's method?
  • Not Synced
    00:50
    Yes. That's ancient. But it works.
  • Not Synced
    00:54
    It works numerically.
  • Not Synced
    01:31
    That's it.
  • Not Synced
    01:35
    Let's type it up.
  • Not Synced
    01:40
    Huh.
