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 Mathematical Bridge, also known as Newton's bridge, Queen's College Cambridge UK. It looks like an arch but is made of straight timbers.
My son Tobias and I in the summer of 1983 in Bayreuth. He is now a doctor of natural sciences (mathematics).
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 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.

Altgeld Hall, originally named Library Hall, is one of the most prominent buildings on the UIUC campus. Dedicated in 1897, the landmark structure was designed by University Professors Nathan Ricker and James McLaren White. The architectural style, said to be derived from medieval church architecture, was called "Modern Romanesque" by the architects, and also is referred to as "Richardsonian-Romanesque" after architect Henry Hobson Richardson.
The original purpose of the building was as the University's library. In 1927, it was occupied by the College of Law and, since 1955, has been home to the Department of Mathematics. In 1941, the name of building was changed from Library Hall to Altgeld Hall, in honor of Illinois Governor John Peter Altgeld (1893-1897), a strong supporter of the University.
Altgeld Hall was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.

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.

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.

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.
Is it a fish bladder, is it an almond or is strictly mathematically a lens? At the centre here is a shape like a lens and the view out from this lens shape offers blooming Lilies making a repeated pattern.

“The vesica piscis is a type of lens, a mathematical shape formed by the intersection of two disks with the same radius, intersecting in such a way that the center of each disk lies on the perimeter of the other.[1] In Latin, "vesica piscis" literally means "bladder of a fish", reflecting the shape's resemblance to the conjoined dual air bladders (swim bladder) found in most fish.[2] In Italian, the shape's name is mandorla ("almond").[3] A similar shape in three dimensions is the lemon.
The vesica piscis in Euclid's Elements
This figure appears in the first proposition of Euclid's Elements, where it forms the first step in constructing an equilateral triangle using a compass and straightedge. The triangle has as its vertices the two disk centers and one of the two sharp corners of the vesica piscis.[4]
Mathematical description
Mathematically, the vesica piscis is a special case of a lens, the shape formed by the intersection of two disks.”

This year the FFF+ Group have decided to have a weekly challenge called “Snap Happy”. A different theme chosen by a member of the group each week, and the image is to be posted on the Monday of the week.
This week the theme, “geometry” was chosen by GG, Greenstone Girl.
When I heard the theme, I was initially at a bit of a loss. Anyone who knows me knows that mathematics is not my strong point. Nevertheless, a challenge is not called a challenge for nothing, and I found that once I tried to look at the world through different “mathematical eyes”, it was much easier than I thought.
Geometry is the part of mathematics that studies the size, shapes, positions and dimensions of things. Squares, circles and triangles are some of the simplest shapes in flat geometry. Cubes, cylinders, cones and spheres are simple shapes in solid geometry. Therefore looking at my full teacup and saucer, I worked out that I had a circle in a circle, in a circle. And my folded napkin was a triangle. And my table had a nice geometric pattern on it. So you see, perhaps geometry can become my cup of tea as an adult, that it wasn’t when I was a teenager!

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.
