The first handout we had gotten was a handout asking us to find the optimal sitting point to watch a fireworks show. He also had us calculate how high and far the fireworks travel into the air. He had us explain why we thought the "rocket" would travel that distance and why that area is the best area to sit to see the fireworks go off. The other equations we had to work with were quadratics, the equations used to find a parabola.
