Calculus Project?

Can calculus projects be fun?

Apparently so!
In the Petra Calculus class the end of the year project is to make a trebuchet.  A what?
A trebuchet, a medieval siege weapon somewhat like a catapult only better because of the counter balance feature (at least according to one of our seniors who wrote a report on it).

It launches on Wednesday, between 2:30 and 3:30.  A further update to follow!
