Parabolas from String Art: Index

I’m doing something that I should have done a long time ago: collecting a series of posts into one single post. The links below show my series on numerical integration.

Part 1: Introduction

Part 2: Identifying the highest points of the strings

Part 3: These nine points lie on a parabola: Method #1

Part 4: These nine points lie on a parabola: Method #2

Part 5: These nine points lie on a parabola: Method #3

Part 6: Proof that all of the highest points lie on a parabola without calculus, Part 1

Part 7: Proof that all of the highest points lie on a parabola without calculus, Part 2

Part 8: Proof that all of the highest points lie on a parabola with calculus

Part 9: Proof that the strings are indeed tangent to the parabola, with calculus

Part 10: Conclusion
