So We Watched Some Top Gear in Math Class

It has something to do with finding out if car depreciation is related to exponential growth (easy stuff) and there was some problem that used a Gallardo's depreciation as an example. Although I think this was just an excuse to watch Top Gear in class.

Sounds like a math class I'd have a chance of passing in.

Nice. We watched a top gear clip in physics once. The clip were Jeremy tries to go upside down in a tunnel in a car.

Showing Top Gear (or Rush) in class is always just an excuse to show Top Gear (Or Rush) in class. Enjoy it while it lasts though. You don't want to imagine all the horribly dull nonsense we're encouraged to show you.

Oh trust me, it is. Exponential growth is basically just division and percentage explained in a complicated way.

The mechanics program at my high school pretty much just watched Top Gear during class days.

Easy stuff- even easier if you learn how to do it with the log() button.

is that a trailer / modular building?

"Portable" building. Our school is old and too small for all the classes.

I didn't much care for my 8th grade science teacher. Then, he showed the class the Top Gear segment were Jeremy rams a Renault van with a train as a way of explaining physics. I liked him much better after that.

Wow, has *everyone* done the car depreciation project? I had it in my junior year Algebra II class. Hated it, because I had to call the insurance companies and I hate talking on the phone.

So your Maths class is in the TG production office too?

Not sure if I am more jealous that you had that opportunity or that I am too old and Top Gear wasn't being filmed yet.
