Asked by Wiki User

The subject of math could be applied to speed skating in many ways.

First in terms of the skater's speed - distance / time = speed. This could also be analysed further in terms of say acceleration or the change in velocity.

Also one could apply math to plot the curve of a skater's route around the oval course; graphs could be plotted and analysed, for example, to find the fastest route around the course.
