This wooden bridge connects the two parts of Queens' college in Cambridge. This bridge was built in 1906, replacing an earlier bridge from 1749 (which had seen repairs in 1866). But the later version kept the original design (designed by William Etheridge and built by James Essex the Younger), using straight timber but at the same time creating the allusion of an arch.
The rather unusual design of the bridge has given it its current popular name of the Mathematical Bridge - but as Queens' college themselves point out on their website: "There is no such thing as an “official name” for the bridge. It has never been named." In the 18th century it was known as “Essex’s Bridge”, it was later also known as “Newton’s Bridge” because it was erroneously believed he had designed the it. The bridge was sometimes called the Mathematical Bridge from 1803 onwards - but there was also another Cambridge bridge known by that name. But the bridge is also known as the "Queens' bridge" - the above mentioned website calls it both the Mathematical and Queens' bridge.
If you are really in to bridges I must recommend the college web-page on the subject, it is extensive and very informative.

The spiral in a snail's shell is the same mathematically as the spiral in the Milky Way galaxy,
and it's also the same mathematically as the spirals in our DNA.
It's the same ratio that you'll find in very basic music that transcends cultures all over the world.

The Mathematical Bridge, also known as Newton's bridge, Queen's College Cambridge UK. It looks like an arch but is made of straight timbers.
The Penrose Paving is constructed from just two different diamond-shaped granite tiles, each adorned identically with stainless steel circular arcs. There are various ways of covering the infinite plane with them, matching the arcs. But every such pattern is non-repetitive and contains infinitely many exact copies of what you see before you.

The bridge was designed by William Etheridge, and built by James Essex in 1749. It has been rebuilt on two occasions, in 1866 and in 1905, but has kept the same overall design. Although it appears to be an arch, it is composed entirely of straight timbers[4] built to an unusually sophisticated engineering design, hence the name.
Thank You Deep Dream Generator. Yes I was a math nerd back in the days. I hope I don't bore you with this series.

La disposición de los pétalos en una rosa sigue la famosa proporción áurea, un caso concreto de la serie de Fibonacci. La belleza de las matemáticas, aunque esta, en particular, estaba ya un poco cascada!
"Mathematical biologists love sunflowers. The giant flowers are one of the most obvious—as well as the prettiest—demonstrations of a hidden mathematical rule shaping the patterns of life: the Fibonacci sequence, a set in which each number is the sum of the previous two (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, ...), found in everything from pineapples to pine cones. In this case, the telltale sign is the number of different seed spirals on the sunflower's face." From Science Magazine, link: www.sciencemag.org/news/2016/05/sunflowers-show-complex-f...

The Mathematical Bridge is the popular name of a wooden bridge across the River Cam, between two parts of Queens' College, Cambridge. Its official name is simply the Wooden Bridge.
The bridge was designed by William Etheridge, and built by James Essex in 1749. It has been rebuilt on two occasions, in 1866 and in 1905, but has kept the same overall design.
The original "mathematical bridge" was another bridge of the same design, also designed by James Essex, crossing the Cam between Trinity and Trinity Hall, where Garret Hostel bridge now stands.
The Mathematical Bridge is the popular name of a wooden footbridge in the southwest of central Cambridge. It bridges the River Cam and joins two parts of Queens' College.
I have always granted myself the freedom to exercise artistic license and pursue whatever brings me joy. Currently, shots from my cellphone and digital AI artwork fulfill that purpose, at least for the time being.
If in doubt which is my work and which is Generative AI, just look for the watermark on my photography.

In Kyiv-Mohyla Academy of those days they taught a wide variety of disciplines. Mathematics was a part of them and it included a bunch of subjects: algebra, geometry, optics, dioptrics, physics, hydrostatics, hydraulics, architecture, mechanics and mathematical chronology.
In the XVIIIth century it was Pier Brulion who taught mathematics in Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. He was the French who arrived in Kyiv with the purpose of teaching children French but turned out to be a talented math teacher. Unfortunately, we know very little about that teacher but we can say for sure that he did not lack creativity. Who else could display one of the study aids for mathematics in the courtyard of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy and another one right on the central market-place of the city? That's right, in Kyiv there are two sundials designed by Pier Brulion: the second one adorns the pillars of the rotunda over the Fountain of Samson on Kontraktova Square.
“Сонячний годинник П'єра Брульона
Ця скульптура присвячена П'єру Брульону, вчителю математики Києво-Могилянської Академії, який подарував місту два сонячні годинники, власноруч розрахувавши їхню конструкцію. Ці годинники не тільки прикрашали місто, але й слугували студентам за посібник з математики й астрономії.
Якщо зайти у двір Києво-Могилянської академії з боку вулиці Григорія Сковороди, то побачимо на зеленому газоні дивну, на сучасний погляд, споруду: білу колону із зеленим дашком від дощу. Посередині в колону вбудований куб з дивною розміткою та бляшаними трикутниками.
Удень від цих трикутників лягають на розмітку тіні – так працює сонячний годинник. Перед нами найстаріший з навчальних посібників з математики, що зі зберігаються в Києві.
У старій Києво-Могилянській Академії викладали багато різних наук. В їх число входила і математика, під якою тоді розуміли цілий «букет» дисциплін: алгебру, геометрію, оптику, діоптріку, фізику, гідростатику, гідравліку, архітектуру, механіку і математичну хронологію. Викладав математику в Могилянці в XVIII столітті француз П'єр Брульон. Приїхавши до Києва, Брульон спочатку збирався навчати дітей французької, але виявився здібним вчителем математики. На жаль, ми мало що знаємо про цього педагога, проте одне можемо сказати точно: в винахідливості йому не відмовиш. Справді, не кожен вчитель здогадався б виставити один з навчальних посібників у дворі Академії, а другий — просто на центральній ринковій площі міста, прикрасивши ним колони ротонди над фонтаном «Самсон» на Контрактовій площі.
Пройшли сотні років. Ми звикли дізнаватися час по цифрам на смартфонах та в електронних браслетах, і розучилися читати тіні, що їх відкидають стрілки сонячного годинника на стіні. Та й самі сонячні годинники Брульона зараз залишаються точними лише половину року, бо були зроблені набагато раніше, ніж з'явився перехід на «літній час».
Але туристи досі з подивом і повагою розглядають дивну розмітку на цій колоні. А в Києво-Могилянській Академії, як і раніше, студенти вивчають математику. А ще передають з покоління у покоління жарт про старого вчителя: «Створив годинник пан Брульон, щоб вчасно з'їсти свій бульйон».

Fibonacci fractals in a Romanesco.
Fibonacci spirals are frequently found in nature and are due to the plant growing to where there is most space which follows a mathematical pattern. This Romanesco is a great example and each spiral itself contains another spiral.
This HYBYCOZO sculpture titled Point of View is in the Kitchell Family Heritage Garden.

LIGHT BLOOM by HYBYCOZO is a limited-time exhibit where nature and light converge. This mesmerizing display invites you to explore the Garden transformed by stunning geometric light installations that illuminate the beauty of the desert landscape in a new way. As the sun sets, LIGHT BLOOM comes to life, casting intricate shadows and vibrant hues across the Garden. Wander the trails and let the enchanting installations transport you to a magical realm where the natural world meets the abstract.
HYBYCOZO is the collaborative studio of artists Serge Beaulieu and Yelena Filipchuk. Based in Los Angeles, their work consists of larger than life geometric sculptures, often with pattern and texture that draw on inspirations from mathematics, science, and natural phenomena. Typically illuminated, the work celebrates the inherent beauty of form and pattern and represents their ongoing journey in exploring the myriad dimensions of geometry. HYBYCOZO is short for the Hyperspace Bypass Construction Zone, a nod to their favorite novel (The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) and was the title of their first installation in 2014. They continue to create under this name. In the novel earth was being destroyed to make way for a bypass. It lead Serge and Yelena to ask what it means to make art at a time where the earth’s hospitable time in the universe may be limited.

Q: Walk us through your creative process?
A: The focus of our creative process is to explore the intricate interplay between geometry, light, space and to inspire contemplation, wonder and a sense of place among our audiences. Geometry and pattern-making serve as the backbone of our creative expression. It is the framework through which we navigate the complexities of form, proportion and spatial relationships. Patterns, both simple and complex, have a profound impact on our perception and understanding of the world. They possess the ability to evoke a sense of order, balance and aesthetic pleasure. Pattern making and geometry offer us a means of storytelling and communication. These patterns serve as conduits for deeper exploration, provoking introspection and contemplation to uncover the underlying symbols embedded within the human psyche.
Q: What inspired the concept of LIGHT BLOOM?
A: Just as many cactus and desert plants have evolved to produce night-blooming flowers, adapting to their environment and thriving in darkness, our sculptures come alive after sunset, blossoming with light and transforming the night into a glowing landscape of art and geometry.
Desert Botanical Garden has an incredible collection of plants and cacti arranged in a beautiful park setting.
"Think the desert is all dirt and tumbleweeds? Think again. Desert Botanical Garden is home to thousands of species of cactus, trees and flowers from all around the world spread across 55 acres in Phoenix, Arizona."

Sited next to Queens College, this wooden bridge over the River Cam was originally built in 1749, and was rebuilt in 1905 to the same design. It is an example of a voussoir arch bridge.

The bridge was designed in 1748 by William Etheridge (1709–76), and was built in 1749 by James Essex the Younger (1722–84). It has subsequently been repaired in 1866 and rebuilt to the same design in 1905.
The myth that the bridge was originally built without fastenings at the joints, but could not be rebuilt successfully without introducing fastenings at the joints, might owe its origin to a change in the nature of the fastenings during the 1905 rebuilding.
Although it appears to be an arch, it is composed entirely of straight timbers built to an unusually sophisticated engineering design, hence the name. A replica of the bridge was built in 1923 near the Iffley Lock in Oxford.
At Queens' College, Cambridge.
According to Wikipedia:
"Popular fable is that the bridge was designed and built by Sir Isaac Newton without the use of nuts or bolts, and at some point in the past students or fellows attempted to take the bridge apart and put it back together" (and had to use bolts).
However, "this story is false: the bridge was built of oak in 1749 by James Essex the Younger (1722–1784) to the design of the master carpenter William Etheridge (1709–1776), 22 years after Newton died."
The riverside building to the right dates to around 1460.
