Was Mathematik mit Fahrradtechnik zu tun hat.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>This video explores some of the challenges in designing early bicycles and how concepts such as wheel circumferences, gear ratios, and torque were used to solve problems. <\/p>\n<p>I feel that the engineering of bicycles is a great way to connect some basic mathematical ideas into mechanical problem solving.   Playing with properties of circles and ratios as a way to make a bike move faster builds a context to bring these geometric ideas into something physical and creative.<\/p>\n<p>The story also shows how creativity and engineering don&#8217;t follow a linear path. Seeing novel solutions, failed experiments, and missed opportunities give us a great framework to inspire us and guide us through new problems.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EcRlDCsZM20?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=de-DE&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><br \/>\n<small>(<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/EcRlDCsZM20?si=u7FY-cbgRfPd_wAt\">Direktlink<\/a>)<\/small> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kommen wir nun zu etwas ganz anderem.
