    Fuel Efficiency of a Car

How fast should you drive a car when you’re trying to save money? How about making money? In this problem, I find the optimum speed a chauffeur should drive considering his car’s gas milage and his hourly rate. Optimization problems make calculus more interesting because they are real world problems, and your everyday common sense can always help you out as a backup.

This was an interesting problem because it invloves unit conversion and dimensional analysis. Being in chem right now, it’s cool to see the applications from different subjects come together.
