I was rather disappointed in this article, since it was making the connection to calculus. Where is the curve of acceleration? Where is the curve for jerk? Where is the calculation for maximum force on his body from that acceleration?

- hopler 8y agoYou are disappointed at the article for not being a different article? Velocity is the derivative of position
- tacon 8y agoYes, I am disappointed that an article with "power of calculus" in the title left most of the power of calculus out of the article. >Velocity is the derivative of position Thanks, hadn't noticed that.
- smadge 8y agoThe main thesis of the article was that high resolution measurements can sometimes obscure the pattern, and that scientific insight requires knowing what details to idealize away. The high resolution data showed the acceleration and deceleration of each stride. On the other hand, the graph based on the the coarser split times hides these bumps and allows for easier analysis using calculus.
