There is no "science of coasters." The science that coasters operate on is physics, however. Any good physics book or website can help you.

If you have time, go pick up the book "Roller Coaster." I forgot the author, but it's copyright 1998, and has a chapter about the physics.

I really need something...
That something is...
Snake Venom, Metal Dog, and Mad Cow!

here is a page from the old thrillride site. it has everything that you need to get an A on your report

If you need some examples of how math relates to coasters, then look in your math book.  My Algebra 2 book years ago had some rollercoaster problems in it.

Rideman's site is also very good for information on the technology of rollercaosters as opposed to the physics:  http://capital2.capital.edu/admin-staff/dalthoff/index.html
