In this lecture we we introduced to some of the terminology used to describe parabolas.
Where there any terms you find confusing, or have you heard them called something different? Let me know!
Vertex is where the gradient of the curve is zero?
=tex dy\div dx
Mathbot not working?
@FedPete
Yep, the gradient at the vertex will be zero because it’s the point where the curve changes direction.
Unfortunately we don’t have LaTeX support on the forum and MathBot is only available on the discord server.

Hi I wanted to share this GDC talk that explains the use of Math and particularly parabolas for Jumps in video games.
