      Not *so* much, because the route that takes minimum time or fuel is rarely a geodesic. Aircraft go out of their way to avoid headwinds and to get tailwinds, and there are elaborate tracking and monitoring systems to help them do that. Sure, the geodesic is still in there, but as the track they're deliberately deviating from, not the track they're flying.

      The name catenary comes from "cadena" = chain (spanish or latin).
      This means, that each element of the hanging string, or whatever must have the degree of freedom of each (infinitesimal) element of a chain, which the cable definitively does NOT have.
      At least at that scale.
      A hanging bridge cable(s) definitively are at a scale where the stiffness is "negligent".

    Hey Zach, love your videos!
    As a mechanical engineer who works on aerodynamic optimization I wanted to add another use of the Bezier curves (and parametric curves in general).
    In shape optimization (say we want to optimize the shape of an airfoil to get minimum drag) we often use Bezier curves to parameterize the shape and we move the control points to optimize it. We do that because if we optimized the shape by moving each node of the geometry, the resulting shape would not be smooth and pretty much impossible to manufacture.
    So there you go, have a great day!

Like this, he built an upside down string model with the optimal arches for weight distribution - catenary curves. This string model can be seen there and I was totally taken away by that.

    I liked the engineering approach to these curves. I've always thought of the bezier curve as being the curve that solves the parametric cubic for 2 tangents (point and slope), but that's a much more mathsy way of thinking of it. I remember coding different ways to interpolate sets of points in pov-ray before it got anything clever to do it. Fun to try your own ways (I liked connecting sets of points with just quadratics: get some crazy results!)

    Internally, adobe only uses quadratic curves - it’s just that for the curve that looks cubic, one of the control points it at the same location as one of the end points. Mathematically though, that reduces to the same thing as a cubic curve. This is also true for straight lines - both control points are at the same locations as the end points.

    Hmm if you put the right side of the equation at 0:13 to the power of infinity, you get a perfect diagonal lattice grid...

    Here are some random curves:
    Curve 1: x=cos(y^y)+cos((y^4y)-3)+cos(y^-4)
    Curve 2: x=sin(y^8)+cos(xy^9)
    Curve 3: x=sin(xy)
    Curve 4: x=cos(y)+cos(y^7)+sin(x^4)+sin(x^-5)

    My curves.
    For electronic drawing
    Mathematica code 1.
    Plot[Piecewise[{{((0.5 - x)/
    0.5) (x/2) + (x/0.5) (0.25 + (x - 0.5) 1.1),
    x 0.5 && x 0.75}}] , {x,
    0, 1}]
    Hopefully for in 3d one surface of a tetrahedron but curved.
    Mathematica code 2.
    Manipulate[
    ListPlot[Table[

    7:57 moment is misleading. Ball on brachistochrone curve gets to zero level (where point B is) faster then free-fall ball. That is impossible. Guess we can call it artistic exaggeration.

    • @reaganharder1480

      Or perhaps a fault caused by animating each ball with a constant velocity?

    LOL Sin of sin of sin..... batman function. Those graphs aren't functions according to the vertical line test. LOL. The variables and dimension of the information matters.
    Weierstrass function. Never differentiable any where, infinitely jagged and continuous everywhere. Fractal-ish. Huh.
