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.

The riverside building on the right centre dates to around 1460, and is the oldest building in Cambridge by the River Cam.

Macro Mondays - Rule
A compass is a technical drawing instrument that can be used for inscribing circles or arcs. As dividers, they can also be used as tools to measure distances, in particular on maps. Compasses can be used for mathematics, drafting, navigation, and other purposes. (Wikipedia)
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.
details and landmarks at ahchoo-e!.
Humpback whales are identified by the markings on their flukes ... or, what most people call the tail. This one clearly has a "P" and an "i" on its left fluke. The "i" even has a dot over it! So, this one is Pi ... or 3.14, if you like. :-) Or, as in the movie, Life of Pi, maybe it's short for Piscine and it's identifying with it's fishy cousins. Or, since it's most likely chasing after those tiny fish, capelin, here, maybe it's advertising that it's a Piscine eater ... or, Pi eater. :-) Sorry. :-) Or, maybe it's just telling us it went to 'school'. Ok. I'll stop now.
There were two of these whales here, but I wasn't quick enough to photograph the tail of the second one. They were spotted from the Apollo, the Newfoundland-Labrador ferry which runs from St. Barbe in Newfoundland to Blanc Sablon, Quebec. We were almost in the harbor of Blanc Sablon when they were spotted and, by the time I got outside on the deck to shoot them, they were quickly disappearing beneath the surface.
This is definitely not as good as some of the whale photos I have here on Flickr, but I decided to upload it because it might be of interest to anyone who studies whales.
Love & Mathematics
Some speak of a spark
Which ignites in the dark
When two people solve
The equation of love
But as the lights went on
Cover of darkness gone
I saw your true face
Reflected in my gaze
Fuzzy logic was applied
Our body language lied
Do I mind that nose?
Do you hate my clothes?
The laws of attraction
Do not care for perfection
As I entered your space
I thanked god the beer is so cheap in this place

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."
As a high school geek, I always had a true love for mathematics. The only subject that came naturally. Very good memories.
Mathematics and art are related in a variety of ways. Mathematics has itself been described as an art motivated by beauty. Mathematics can be discerned in arts such as music, dance, painting, architecture, sculpture, and textiles. This article focuses, however, on mathematics in the visual arts.

A bit of a cliche to take a shot of the Astronomical Clock in Prague but I couldn't help myself.
The oldest part of the Orloj, the mechanical clock and astronomical dial, dates back to 1410 when it was made by clockmaker Mikuláš of Kadaň and Jan Šindel, the latter a professor of mathematics and astronomy at Charles University. The first recorded mention of the clock was on 9 October 1410. Later, presumably around 1490, the calendar dial was added and clock facade was decorated with gothic sculptures.
Formerly, it was believed that the Orloj was constructed in 1490 by clockmaster Jan Růže (also called Hanuš); this is now known to be a historical mistake. A legend, recounted by Alois Jirásek, has it that the clockmaker Hanuš was blinded on the order of the Prague Councillors so that he could not repeat his work; in turn, he broke down the clock, and no one was able to repair it for the next hundred years.
In 1552 it was repaired by Jan Taborský (ca1500–1572), master clockmaker of Klokotská Hora, who also wrote a report of the clock where he mentioned Hanuš as maker of this clock. This mistake, corrected by Zdeněk Horský, was due to an incorrect interpretation of records from the period. The mistaken assumption of Hanuš authorship is probably connected with his reconstruction of the Old Town Hall in years 1470-1473. The clock stopped working many times in the centuries after 1552, and was repaired many times.
In 1629 or 1659 wooden statues were added, and figures of the Apostles were added after major repair in 1787-1791. During the next major repair in years 1865-1866 the golden figure of a crowing rooster was added.
The Orloj suffered heavy damage on May 7 and especially May 8, 1945, during the Prague Uprising, when Germans set fire from several armoured vehicles and an anti-aircraft gun to the south-west side of the Old Town Square in an effort to silence the provocative broadcasting initiated by the National Committee on May 5. The hall and nearby buildings burned along with the wooden sculptures on the Orloj and the calendar dial face made by Josef Mánes. After significant effort, the machinery was repaired, the wooden Apostles restored by Vojtěch Sucharda, and the Orloj started working again in 1948.
The Orloj was last renovated in autumn 2005, when the statues and the lower ring were restored by Josef Manes. Wooden statues were covered with a net to keep pigeons away.

Wooden bridge over the River Cam at Queens' College, Cambridge. Designed by William Etheridge in 1749 and made entirely of straight timber. The popular myth that it was designed by Sir Isaac Newton is untrue (he died 20 years before it was built!)
The River Cam,
Cambridge, UK
The "Mathematical Bridge" is a wooden footbridge over the River Cam, that connects the two parts of the Queen's College in Cambridge. It appears to be arched but is made entirely of straight timbers (tangent and radial trussing). It was built in 1749 and was repaired and rebuilt in 1866 and 1905.
When i first saw this model two years ago at the C.D.O. convention I immediately fell in love with it, both for the mathematically and armonious aspects.When yesterday I found under my hands the cp for this I had to try it right away.Unfortunately I had only 35x35 cm EH, so I couldn't achieve the little,central pleats (some good,big sheets of elephant hide are almost on their way, so in less than two weeks I'll be able to get the completed model ;) ).I scored the paper using a specific scoring tool, the printed cp, a lightbulb and my "glass table".
Couple years ago I like made fractal images. I using variable free programs. Programs are gone but images is still in my computer.
The striking interior of the Mathematical Institute in Oxford, reflected off the roof of the crystal like cafeteria. The maze of wooden staircases was like something from Harry Potter.
As every intelligent person knows, Pop Art accounts for three distinct periods.
1. Starving Time. The interesting and fruitful period when a young but already genial artist makes his or her first paintings - the gratest masterpieces of all time. Everything is good but no money to buy some food.
2. Soup Era. This is when a young but already genial artist sells his first piece of great art, or robs a bank (I'm not sure which event has a greater mathematical probability), or just borrows some bucks from a mediocre and worthless person and buys some cans of soup. Of course, the artist documents such a great and rare event (of having canned soup). Many hungry artists follows the father-founder of Pop Art and document their food, drinks, whatever eatable, and personal effects too.
3. After The Lunch. A sated, full-bellied artist doesn't need soup cans for the time being, so he entertains himself right after the lunch, for instance, the way this photo shows. Finally the artist becomes, out of the blue, famous. He has a lot of social commitments now, so he has no free time to make good art. But he is rich now, and that is the Happy End of the story. I wonder if this photo can repeat the success of the artist? What do you think? Feel free to express your opinion in comments.
One of the more famous crossings across the Cam, I'm not that big a fan of the Mathematical Bridge at Queens' College, but it did look nice in the fog here.
One thing I will add for those who haven't crossed it - it's steeper than it looks :)
