O ne of the problems of everyday life, as demonstrated in the survey, is parallel parking or parking in a narrow place. But thanks to Blackburn demonstrates the stationarity geometry **still confusing**, based on the wheelbase of a car and place the post.

The formula to park a vehicle was designed, using some principles of the circles and the Pythagorean theorem, leading to an equation that is intended to demonstrate the best way to park a car in a parallel parking space without traffic problems. The formula starts by using the radius of the turning circle of a car and the distance between the vehicle front and rear wheels. Then, using the length of the nose of the car and the width of a car next, the formula can say exactly how large a space for the car **is.** By applying these parking guidelines **comma** a driver can also know exactly when to turn the wheel to have a perfect park.

 Simon Blackburn was born in 1944, he is a British philosopher interested in three areas and the connections between them. These areas are: __criptogarafía__ **chryptography?**  which describes how the science of making and breaking secret codes works, combinatorial mathematics defined as counting and organization of objects and the theory of groups is for him the mathematical symmetry. Often work in cryptanalysis and the questions in the theory of groups that are of a combinatorial nature. In addition, he taught at Oxford University and currently teaches philosophy at the University of Cambridge. Between **Among** some of their works and research **es** highlight s the famous mathematical formula for perfect parking.

However, despite the creation of such a formula, to provide individuals a way to park their car, it becomes complicated, so in 2003 Dr. Rebecca Hoyle of Surrey University developed a little more or explained more precisely the formula for Blackburn as follows:

In the formula above: w = width of car at widest point c = midpoint between axles f = distance from c to front of car b = distance from c to back of car r = minimum radius of turning circle p = distance from parallel car at outset k = optimal distance to kerb fg = distance from car in front at the end of the manoeuvre

And it explains step by step every segment of the formula and what must be done to achieve perfect parking, as follows:

The initial requirements for a perfect 'S' shaped parallel parking manoeuvres are: 1) the right starting position 2) the size of the gap available, and 3) the correct manipulation and timing of the steering within the available turning circle.

1) The car must start in a parallel position to the car in from and the starting distance from the adjacent car should be equal to the tightest radius of the inner turning circle minus half your car's width.

2) The gap into which the car is to be reversed must be at least as long as the width of your car plus twice the radius of the tightest inner turning circle plus the distance between the point midway between both axles and the back of your car. In all but a few exceptional cases, this will equate to a minimum space of 150% of your cars length. 3) In addition, the distance from the point midway between both axles to the front of the car must be less than the width of your car plus twice the radius of the inner turning circle minus the maximum gap between you and the car in front at the end of the manoeuvre.

4) During the manoeuvre, reversing should be parallel to the point at which the midpoint between your car's axles lines up with the bumper of the car in front. Reversing should continue at low speed until your car is at exactly 45degrees from the kerb at which point an opposite lock should be applied until the car is parallel once more with the kerb. At this point the distance to the kerb should be optimal ie 'k'. The last part of the formula **shows the conditions a driver would need to satisfy to avoid hitting the car in front and the kerb during the manoeuvre. taken from: http://www.gap3.com/esureformula/ IF YOU DO NOT DO THIS.... It is called PLAGIARISm. Same thing with the other 3 steps... **

However, the remaining 30% I leave to the fact that I could not test it in practice by the degree of difcultad, I think with a little practice, logic and accuracy can be achieved at least a decent parked. In conclusion, the formula is very interesting and useful for fans to mathematics however, ** it ** is very practical and probably would take much time to analyze and draw bills on time to park. In my opinion, I agree with the formula created by 70% because it has good theoretical mathematical foundations, ie is very well argued, explained and demonstrated.
