Join Jeff and Amy for a laid back episode where they reminisce about simpler times. From taping songs off the radio to cereal sprinkled with real sugar (gasp). Hope you enjoy a walk down memory lane. Thanks for listening!

In the 19th century, rollercoasters were new and exciting. Sometimes too exciting. Like, a 12 G-force, break your neck exciting! How was this even possible in 1895?! If you are interested in reading more about the physics and math of these early rollercoasters, or are interested in learning more about the history of math and science, please visit me at www.MathScienceHistory.com !
