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.
Das «Taschenbuch der Mathematik» von Bronstein/Semendjajew, meist einfach «Der Bronstein» genannt, war DAS mathematische Nachschlagewerk und Formelsammlung für Generationen von Studenten und Praktikern der Ingenieur- und Naturwissenschaften. Dieses Exemplar stammt aus der Studienzeit des Sekretärs.
Der SHARP PC-1403H aus derselben Epoche konnte in BASIC (und Maschinensprache) programmiert werden und hatte einen beeindruckenden Arbeitsspeicher von 32KB.

The Bronstein/Semendjajew "Pocket Book of Mathematics" (Taschenbuch der Mathematik), usually simply called "The Bronstein", was THE mathematical reference book and collection of formulas for generations of students and practitioners of engineering and natural science. This copy dates from Secretary’s college days.
The SHARP PC-1403H from the same era could be programmed in BASIC (and machine language) and had an impressive RAM of 32KB.
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.

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.

A oft shot image of the Mathematical Bridge in Cambridge. Nothing original here, but why not, like thousands of other photographers!
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.

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.

The riverside building on the right centre dates to around 1460, and is the oldest building in Cambridge by the River Cam.
Inside the Mathematics Institute at Oxford. We were privileged to be given a tour of this extraordinary building. Very Escher like in it's communications corridors - except they all go somewhere! Full of light which is channelled to the different floors via glass crystal shaped structures which give fabulous reflections. It is an amazing structure. What a place for some of the best brains to flourish!!!
Instead of the main road, you can use a ginnel to get to Williamson Park that retraces the route used by the quarry workers in the 19th century. Unexpectedly I saw the back of the Ashton Memorial.
The Ashton Memorial is, by chance, close to the mathematical center of Great Britain, if you exclude the Isle of Man. To paraphrase a favorite actor, "not a lot of people know that."
To build is to elevate the mentality of self and others around the self to add positive energy to Allah's nation. To destroy is to ruin by allowing negativity to outweigh the positive.
