A cable supporting a horizontal load takes the
form of a parabola, as illustrated here on London's Tower
Bridge. The natural laws that govern this phenomenon are the
same laws that govern the motion of planets, or the trajectory
of a falling leaf. Isaac Newton invented calculus over 400 years
ago to describe such universal principles. Calculus remains a
major tool in all branches of science and engineering. The MATH
200–201 sequence is an introduction to this very fundamental,
powerful and useful subject.
