Numerical integration and simulation
Most real integrals have no formula, and most real motion has no neat equation. Computers handle both by taking small steps. You'll estimate how many visitors arrive on a busy day with Simpson's rule, then simulate the Big Drop with water drag using Euler's method, and see how the step size trades speed for accuracy.
