Wednesday February 23, 2005 Mathematical Model of Eiffel Tower
University of Colorado Assistant Professor Patrick Weidman and Michigan Technological University Professor Iosif Pinelis have recently published a paper - "Model Equations for the Eiffel Tower Profile: Historical Perspective and New Results" - in the French journal Comptes Rendus Mecanique. In this paper, Weidman and Pinelis present a nonlinear integral-differential equation whose solution yields the shape of the Eiffel Tower. The tower's profile is "composed of two piecewise continuous exponentials with different growth rate".
