Video Transcript: Geometry Applications: Transformations | Video Transcript: Geometry Applications: Transformations
This is the transcript for the video of same title. Video contents: In this program we look at applications of transformations. We do this in the context of three real-world applications. In the first, we look at translations and rotations in the context of roller coaster rides. In the second example we look at translations in three-dimensional space in the context of cargo ships. In the third example, we look at the design of observatories to look at rotations, reflections, and symmetry. |

Video Transcript: Geometry Applications: Transformations, Segment 2: 3D Translations | Video Transcript: Geometry Applications: Transformations, Segment 2: 3D Translations
This is the transcript for the video of same title. Video contents: Cargo ships transport tons of merchandise from one country to another and accounts for most of the global economy. Loading and unloading these ships requires a great deal of organization and provides an ideal example of three-dimensional translations. |
