Math is the basis of the world. The fundamental thing that all is based off of. If you build a house you use math if you spend money you use math. Math is even found in places you would never suspect to find it, take for example a bouquet. A perfect bouquet will never have two or ten flowers nor eight or even sixteen. There will always be an odd number of flowers to make the bouquet pleasing to the eye. Yes no matter how much people hate math, and some really despise it, it is always there. Skiing is a sport consumed by math, it may not seem this way, but it is found in almost every aspect of the sport. From the design of the skis to the way the courses are laid out even the position of the body when a turn is made.
When a ski is designed there are many aspects to be thought of, the flex, dimensions, radius, camber. boot center and length. All of these aspects are math related. For example the dimensions and the radius are directly related and depending on the use intended for the ski are always quite different. If a ski is to be use to slalom race it will have a very tight radius meaning that the curvature on the ski edge is very extreme.
Still in progress...
