The Art of Approximation. Instructor: Sanjoy Mahajan. This video leads students through an approximation technique to compute the fuel efficiency of a car moving at highway speeds. This is accomplished by using dimensional analysis and a simple experiment to identify the exponents in a formula for the drag force on a car. (from ocw.mit.edu)
