The resulting equations take into account such factors as the composition and resulting pattern of the oil used on bowling lanes, as well as the inevitable asymmetries of bowling balls and player ...

Instead, the group's model accounts for a variety of factors. One example is the thin layer of oil applied to bowling lanes; the oil layer can vary widely in volume and shape between competitive ...

While helpful, these methods left out more thorough investigations into the physics dynamics between a ball, lane conditions, and bowling pins. This meant that even the slightest variation on form ...

The model accounts for a variety factors, including the thin layer of oil applied to bowling lanes, the motion of the subtly asymmetric bowling ball, and a 'miss-room' to allow for human inaccuracies.
