Demonstration

I really like the bending truss example because I did bridge building for a science competition. We used mathematic modeling to figure out tensile and compression force on different components of the bridge by doing calculations on paper. It was very interesting to see this represented graphically as well as the code that allowed the truss to be modeled and be affected by the forces.
