You will see and learn how mathematics explains the world of rockets and aero science through simple lessons in Newtonian physics and rocket flight. Learn the laws of rocket stability, fluid dynamics, aerodynamics. You will study stable rocket flight designs and ultimately design your own flight vehicle. Best of all, you will actually build and launch your own vehicle at the end of the course to show your family and friends what you learned. Don’t miss this one- it is your first step to the stars!
