Math 1210 Signature Project
I actually really enjoyed this project as I felt it was one of the first projects in the class that I could truly see myself using in someway in the future. Without using Calculus you may guess that the best route to take would be either the straight shot or the path around where you don't get any extra costs added on. The straight shot ends up being the most expensive though. Cutting through partially does make sense as you get from one side of the private property to the other the quickest. This project gave me a lot more insight as to the uses of Calculus in the real world. I actually felt a lot of connection with this project with a project I did in another class where we had to use dijkstra's algorithm to write software that would solve the traveling salesman problem. While this project only had 3 options as opposed to 100's this one was solved by hand and makes me wonder about using some of the skills used to solve this problem to solve the traveling salesman problem.
