He misspelled "arcsinh". Make him start over.

PS: Thanks for the link, useless though it is.
The web site is
big enough, and my German poor enough, that even after searching for more time
than it deserves, I can not say for sure that there is no information there, but
neither can I find it.
In other words: Nothing to see here.
Next!

Someone on Reddit reverse engineered what he did from the formula in the
picture.
Short form: It is an exact (analytic) solution to the differential
equations describing the path of a projectile moving in gravity and (quadratic)
air resistance.
Not so much the breakthrough that the math-illiterate press
breathlessly wrote about, similar solutions were published n 1977, but solid,
impressive work for 16 year old who certainly deserved the prize in Germany's
top science and math competition for high-schoolers.
Here is a discussion on
a math stackexchange forum, which has links to the posts on Reddit:
Teenager solves Newton dynamics problem -
where is the paper?

I assume g is gravity as a scalar, but what are u and v? Do they parameterize
motion in the x and y directions? [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
