The Mathematical Bridge is the popular name of a wooden footbridge in the southwest of central Cambridge, England. It bridges the River Cam about one hundred feet northwest of Silver Street Bridge and connects two parts of Queens' College. Its official name is simply the Wooden Bridge or Queens' Bridge. It is a Grade II listed building.
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 built to an unusually sophisticated engineering design, hence the name.
Mathematical explanation:
The arrangement of timbers is a series of tangents that describe the arc of the bridge, with radial members to tie the tangents together and triangulate the structure, making it rigid and self-supporting. This type of structure, technically tangent and radial trussing, is an efficient structural use of timber, and was also used for the timber supporting arches (centering) used for building stone bridges. Analysis of the design shows that the tangent members are almost entirely under compression, while the radial timbers are almost entirely subject to tension with very little bending stress, or to put it another way, the tangent and radial elements elegantly express the forces involved in arched construction.

Even the mathmatic proovs it. So I want to wish you all a happy time and a good timewith your frinds and family <3
I attempted Robert J. Lang's Tree Frog pattern from his book "Origami Design Secrets - Mathmatical Methods for an Ancient Art". I folded this pattern fully expecting to not be able to complete it. And while I did have to make a few changes due to folding errors, I'm incredibly pleased with the end result. I will definitely be revisiting this pattern to make a crisper model. Maybe with foil paper if I can find 35x35cm sheets or larger?

The bridge is wooden and although it looks curved it is constructed of straight timbers.
It was designed by William Etheridge and built by
James Essex in 1749.

Go check it!!.. i got a gang of stuff you fools aint seen.. and now, on to the story.
"So it was a nice day in ATL today, sunny with a chance of nowhere to go..
I decided to rock a quick piece with some nice Belton browns and pinks in it..(since these Beltoninans started flowing a couple.. and i mean a couple.. of cans i make use of my newfound luxury, so essentially ballin on a budget.)
No plans were made for this wall, which leads to no outline, which leads to freestyle..
So another throw to the 90s in my early writing career was the "Dropping Science"..
that was the saying in like 92-95.. it was pretty common then.. and in my early age i viewed
it in many ways, one way was to drop knowledge, and knowledge in my hood was mathmatics... cause understanding them numbers gets you more numbers.. follow me?
so.. there it was, lets drop some scientific mathmatical astronomical.. cue "The most Beautifullest thing in this world, by Keith Murray."
A model for the pattern of florets in the head of a sunflower was proposed by H. Vogel in 1979, This is expressed in polar coordinates
r = c \sqrt{n},
\theta = n \times 137.5^{\circ},
where θ is the angle, r is the radius or distance from the center, and n is the index number of the floret and c is a constant scaling factor. It is a form of Fermat's spiral. The angle 137.5° is related to the golden ratio (55/144 of a circular angle, where 55 and 144 are Fibonacci numbers) and gives a close packing of florets. This model has been used to produce computer graphics representations of sunflowers. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunflower
I'm no mathmetician, but the graphic looks pretty close to the center of the sunflower.
Thanks for your visit and all of your support. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

MIMICRY is the new building of the Center for Life Sciences at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences of the University of Groningen, designed by Rudy Uytenhaak.
The building consists of two diagonally sloping sections with green roofs which rise from ground level. From the fourth floor up to the ninth and highest floor, the two sections are combined by a bridge over the park. This three-part composition also influences the organisation of the three fields of research: botany, zoology and fundamental studies.

You quit, again and again, because of what you love. Because certain things you don't want to compromise, because certain people you can't bear to hurt. And you start, again and again, because who you are is what you hate. You need something to work when things fall down. If only words and desire could be all, and not the hopeless mathmatics that you obsess over but that never adds up.

El libro habla sobre los grandes descubrimientos matemáticos de la historia. En este caso, está hablando de los avances de los antiguos egipcios con respecto al número π (deducidos a partir del Papiro Rhind (lo que se intuye en la imagen oscura superior); y el paso siguiente en lo que a precisión de π se refiere, que fue llevado a cabo por Arquímides, quien logró delimitar su valor entre 3,1410369 y 3,1427201.
Además, la "casualidad" ha querido que el día 26 tenga un motivo matemático: el 26 es el único número entero de cuantos existen que está entre un número al cuadrado (25) y un número al cubo (27).
La foto está tal cual sacada de cámara, salvo por un poco de contraste. Muy poquito.

I don't feel in the mood to write a story right now. But then my partner had it right "it's all part of the cycle of life."
If I had a sense of humour today then I'd probably think that a better title for this would be "Laureal - because you're worth it" but I don't so I won't! 8-)
We were talking about fate the other day and I said that I don't believe in it but I pretend to myself that I do. I don't think things are preordained in our universe but I find my life is full of happy coincidences and I choose to have faith that they happen for a reason. My rational side tells me that these coincidences are a mathmatical certainty that will happen to at least someone. But I find that believing that things are "meant to be" is just another way of engendering the feeling that every cloud has a silver lining, making my life more fulfilling and leaving me with the sense that I'm lucky in life. If you are too busy in your existence to pick up on the connections between events, or are always expecting to be disappointed or let down then many of these happy coincidences will pass you by and you will believe that you are unlucky in life. The opportunity to be lucky is right there in front of you should you wish to take it.
Making land art gives me the space to see these connections and to pick up on the happy concidences, without the time to free my mind I might miss out on them too.
We went to the framers this morning to get some Giclee prints framed up (they look amazing by the way! ;-)). We were chatting about the two orphaned lambs they had, little runts they are (in the literal sense but cute as little lambs inevitably are) and they didn't think they would survive. But a bit bigger at three weeks old with funny little characters and charming to boot, they trotted over to greet us, bleating and thinking we might have a bottle or two for them.
I told him (the framer not the lamb) that I may have some more prints to frame up soon as a company may want some of my pictures for their boardroom. Their company logo incorporates laurel leaves and I said I might make something with them but I didn't know where there were any.
"I'm no gardener" he said, "but I think that those bushes out there are laurel" And surely they were. Another happy coincidence. "take whatever you need" he said. And so I did.
I trotted down to the beck and the sunshine had brought everyone out. The chunky lambs in the field opposite were butting each other and playing harem scarem through the hedge and it was most amusing to watch.
A Japanese student listening to her Ipod came past, she obviously didn't care too much about her hearing as I could still here the tinny percussion when she was 50 yards away sat in a tree. Numerous other dog walkers, parents and toddlers came past including one toddler who needed to use their potty right there and then on the path. When you gotta go you gotta go! But then this is all quite usual on a warm Saturday in April in a fairly well frequented place.
I set up the framed laurel branch just above the water and set about getting the pictures I wanted, splashing about in my wellies as I did so. The wind tore apart my efforts several times but eventually the breeze relented, the sun appeared from behind the wispy, hazy clouds and I was done.
Just next to where I was, across the stream and in the field, a chunky lamb lay down wheezing. All the other sheep had gone up to the top of the field and he was left all alone. I didn't think he looked too well but hoped it was my hyper sensitive nature overblowing what was just a cough.
My spirits dampened, I got home and plugged my camera into the computer but I just had to go back and see what was up with the stricken lamb.
A young mum stood looking while her daughter choked back tears. Sadly the lamb had died, I hope it hadn't suffered too long. Now I do eat meat and I try not to be a hypocrite, I do realise why there are lambs in the fields at all. But being of a sensitive nature, suffering and death and can be all too much if witnessed.
Sensitivity is both a blessing and a curse. You feel the reality of life too starkly sometimes and it fosters a tendency to withdraw in an attempt to lessen the impact of the harsh realities we all encounter. But with it comes opportunities to feel lucky in life and to pick up on every happy coincidence that passes by.
As my partner so eloquently put it: "it is all part of the cycle of life."

I have photographed this house many times. One evening I was walking by and noticed that it looked even better at dusk.
Log entry / / Dr. Eli Vaston, Head Researcher:
"The Artifact, or Artifact SPA-281 as it's been formally catalogued, really is a remarkable object, I mean we have no idea what it is. Is it a weapon? Be f__ked if I know! We really have no idea what it does, but it's perfect - every curve mathmatically exact, every flat molecularly smooth, it's astonishing! We havn't been able to take it apart because whatever it is, it was made as a whole. There are no joins, no seams, it's perfectly sealed, and more ennoyingly, impervious to x-rays, gamma and even ultrasound! It's like whoever built it didn't want to share their secrets. The Artifact has two strange properties - the first, it emits nothing from the surface, not even thermal radiation. This makes it impossible to carbon-date. The other, and this is very odd - it weighs exactly three times as much upside down, than it does upright!
We found it in a cave on Sparta IV, by complete fluke! Sparta's extinct population was tribal and not technologically advanced at all, so it's likely not of Sparta IV or any other planet in the system for that matter.
What mysteries does the Artifact hold? I couldn't possibly fathom. It may not even be possible to study it in depth without damaging it or drilling at it, then again, considering the lack of wear, even that may not work.
If we ever decipher the glyphs on the "stock", speaking in weapon terms of course, it may bring us closer to a technological revolution, but in the mean time, Humanity remains ignorant to the full brilliance of this wonderous object.
Close entry."
.......but how far did I travel?
I struggled to work it out because the maths started involving cosines and other such mathmatical stuff that I just don't understand. Wish I'd listened to my Dad now!!!
Haha. So I figure there's a mathmatic equation for this.
Beards = Hot
Girls = Cute
Girls + Beards = Sexy :)
This equation is just a joke.
I mixed purple paint black paint and yellow paint for this haha. Hope you guys like this shot. I know my parents think I'm crazy. I love paint and being silly.

Our Daily Challenge - Homophone
A homophone is a word that is pronounced the same as another word but with a different meaning.
I've recently bought my little boy some chalk as a reward for doing some 'learning' during the summer holidays.
To avoid him dropping behind at school we are completing a summer reading challenge, doing 'mathletics' on the computer and keeping a daily scrapbook of our activities.
I'm hoping that the practice will enable him to make a good start back at school in September and help him progress!
He has been using the patio as a drawing board with his chalk and I thought that I'd join in the fun!
