Euler's Method scene in Hidden Figures

00:00
The problem is when the capsule moves from an elliptical orbit to a parabolic orbit. There's no mathematical formula for that.
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.
00:18
Maybe we've been thinking about this all wrong.
00:20
How's that?
00:26
Maybe it's not new math at all.
00:30
It could be old math.
00:32
Something that looks at the problem numerically and not theoretically. Math is always dependable.
00:39
For you it is.
00:47
Euler's method.
00:49
Euler's method?
00:50
Yes. That's ancient. But it works.
00:54
It works numerically.
01:31
That's it.
01:35
Let's type it up.
01:40
Huh.
