The Open University

All the Fun of the Fair - for iPod/iPhone is a education podcast hosted by The Open University. It has 8 episodes, with the latest published April 2010.

There is nothing quite like the thrill of a ride at the fair. But what is it that creates the thrills - making people actually enjoy the experience of being thrown around? The tracks in this Collection look at the circular motion of 4 fairground rides, and focuses in on 'The Hellraiser', mathematically modelling the forces at work. This material makes up part of The Open University course MST209 Mathematical methods and models
