Friday math movie: OK Go This Too Shall Pass

By Murray Bourne, 29 Apr 2011

Stunt movie makers need to have a pretty good grasp of math and physics - otherwise things go horribly wrong.

This video is a bit of fun (27 million views to date). This certainly would have taken some coordination - and good math!

And here's a wacky follow up, a Q&A by the makers of the video:

HTML: You can use simple tags like <b>, <a href="...">, etc.

To enter math, you can can either:

  1. Use simple calculator-like input in the following format (surround your math in backticks, or qq on tablet or phone):
    `a^2 = sqrt(b^2 + c^2)`
    (See more on ASCIIMath syntax); or
  2. Use simple LaTeX in the following format. Surround your math with \( and \).
    \( \int g dx = \sqrt{\frac{a}{b}} \)
    (This is standard simple LaTeX.)

NOTE: You can mix both types of math entry in your comment.
