Mathematical Bridge(Queens' Bridge, Wooden Bridge)

Visit the "Mathematical Bridge" attraction at Cambridge University. The bridge cleverly connects the college buildings on both sides of the Jianhe River, which connects not only the physical bridge of the college, but also the history and modernity, and is worth a visit.

The Mathematical Bridge is a bridge in Cambridge, England. It spans the River Cam on the campus of the University of Cambridge, connecting the campuses of Queen's College on both sides of the River Cam, between Trinity College and Trinity Hall. The Mathematical Bridge is its unofficial name, and its official name is just "Wooden Bridge". The Mathematical Bridge was designed by William Etheridge II and built by James Essex in 1749. The Mathematical Bridge was rebuilt in 1866 and 1905, but the original design has not changed. The bridge has now been replaced by a new bridge, with wooden strips arranged in an arc to support the bridge, and other horizontal parts to form a triangular structure to fix the bridge. This structure effectively uses wood without wasting it, and borrows the arch design commonly seen in stone bridges to strengthen its structure. However, there are several theories about the design of the Mathematical Bridge: 1. The bridge was designed by China, and some special mathematical equations were used in the design, which gave it the name of the Mathematical Bridge. 2. The bridge was designed by an ordinary student. The design of the bridge (weight and angles) was very precise, and not even a nail was used. A professor was amazed when he saw the bridge and wanted to dismantle it to understand the design of the bridge. However, after the professor dismantled the bridge, there was no way to rebuild the bridge using the original design, so the professor rebuilt the bridge using nails. 3. The bridge was designed and built by Newton. Like the second legend, his design did not use a nail. After seeing the design of the bridge, the students dismantled the bridge, but there was no way to rebuild it. However, this statement is not true because Newton died 22 years before the bridge was built.

Spanning the river cam and bridging 2 parts of Queen's College. The Bridge, originally called Wooden Bridge has quite a story behind it and how it was built.

The Mathematical Bridge, also known as the Newton Bridge, is said to have been designed and built by the great mathematician Newton while teaching at Cambridge University. It shows the prototype of the modern steel beam bridge, and the design between the bridge's adjacent trusses is called geometric structure, so it is named the "Mathematical Bridge". Simple and historic, worth visiting!

The bridge is located on the Jianhe River at the University of London, also known as the Newton Bridge. It is said that it was designed and built by the mathematician Newton when he taught at Cambridge. The bridge is adjacent to the truss and forms a angle of 11.25 degrees. In the 18th century, this design was called geometric structure, so the bridge was named "mathematical bridge". The boating Jianhe is worth a visit!

This bridge looks very simple, is the masterpiece of mathematicians, originally a nail, learned physics dissatisfied, dismantled and reconstructed, did not expect to get a piece, had to use 42 bolts to restore the bridge, from now on, this bridge has become the physical failure to mathematics evidence! Hahahahaha!

Mathematical Bridge (The Mathematical Bridge), also known as Newton Bridge, is a wooden bridge located in the Queen's College. It is rumored that Newton designed and built using mathematics and mechanics principles, and the whole bridge did not use a nail, which was a miracle. Newton's students thought: what teachers can do, students can do. So they dismantled the bridge, but how could not restore the bridge without nails to the original Newton teacher's building, and finally had to use nails to re-frame the wooden bridge. No one can confirm whether this statement is true, but two things are certain students at Cambridge are curious, dare to challenge authority, and are brave in practice; there must be nails in the bridge of mathematics today.

Mathematics bridge was originally said to have no nails, but later by the students to dismantle it, can not use nails, now it looks like it is all nails, hahahaha, a group of pit teachers students.
