I remember the semester I was taking Calc II, I was also playing a lot of the game Terminus. (This was in 2000.) The game prided itself on having realistic space flight physics, so you had to spend the same amount of time accelerating and decelerating when traveling between locations. I remember realizing I could actually use the calculus I was learning to figure out how long / how far it would take to decelerate, and so plan my thruster burns accordingly.
Haven't used it since, though... It's a pity.
