Mark Z 371 Posted November 14, 2014 The similarity between the shape of many trees and a catenary did not occur to me before seeing this. I wonder if there is any connection between the physics of an arch, and the mathematics underlying the biology of trees.It is a nice contrast between the pure curve and straight lines of the bridge, and the organic shape of the tree - both being determined entirely by function.
