Behold! The magnificent marriage of art and equations! Someone actually plotted the Eiffel Tower using a series of mathematical functions—linear equations for the straight parts and circle equations for the curves. Those $(x-12.42)^2 + (y-z)$ equations? They're creating the arches at different heights! This is what happens when math nerds go on vacation but forget to leave their graphing calculators at home. "I could take a photo... OR I COULD DERIVE THE TOWER FROM SCRATCH!" *maniacal laughter* Next time someone asks "When will I ever use this math in real life?" just show them this glorious creation. Gustave Eiffel would be both impressed and slightly concerned.
