Raytheon Co., the Waltham defense contractor, said it is helping to unveil a ride at Epcot, part of Walt Disney World in Florida, that requires thrill seekers to make use of their mathematical skills.

Called the "Sum of all Thrills," the ride lets guests custom-design an experience by using math skills, a touch-screen table, and a robotic simulator, and the ride is part of a larger Raytheon effort to encourage students to develop an interest in math and science...

Sum of all Thrills lets guests of all ages create their own experience by first choosing a ride theme, including a roller coaster, bobsled, or jet plane. Using multi-touch object recognition tables with instructions available in six languages, guests use math and engineering based tools, such as rulers and speed dials, to design and customize their ride by adding corkscrews, inversions, or steep hills. Guests learn and apply mathematical and engineering principles to determine how much energy is needed for a jet to take off or for a roller coaster or bobsled to make it up its first climb.
