How do the rules of mathematics apply to the art of gymnastics?
 
Mathematics news on Phys.org
Circular motion when the gymnast is spinning, tension and torque when the gymnast is using ropes, potential and kinetic energy when the gymnast is holding a position in the air and then moves, turning about a pivot when the gymnast is balancing, kinematics for the movement of the gymnast (i guess it's a bit of an over simplification to treat her/him as a particle though)...just some ideas i know some of these concepts may be thought to relate more to physics than maths but lots of equations come into play.
