This talk will highlight the key role played by Mathematica in recently developed results on projectile motion with linear resistance. These include several new formulas involving the Lambert W function (Mathematica's ProductLog) as well as a theorem motivated by results obtained with Mathematica. In particular, symbolic solutions are found for the range of a projectile and for the launch angle that maximizes the range. Visual illustrations will be provided with the help of the Manipulate command.
