What is Famous Parabolic Bridges and Equations about?

The document summarizes the mathematical equations that describe the lower and upper parabolic arches of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. For the lower arch, measurements were taken from a photo to determine (x,y) coordinate points on the arch. These were used to derive the quadratic equation y = 0.00188x^2 - 118.5x + 118000 that describes the arch. A similar process was followed to determine the equation y = 0.00075x^2 - 118.5x + 118000 for the upper arch.
