Conclusion

Congratulations, you have successfully illustrated the Geometric aspects of 
the Brooklyn Bridge.  You should be proud that both New York City and the 
Brooklyn Bridge have a special place in American history.  Now, you should 
have a better appreciation of the mathematical aspect of the bridge.   
Without mathematics, there would be no Brooklyn Bridge and a piece of New 
York’s history would have never been written.  In addition, you know a real 
life application of mathematics.


Still wondering why Math is important for bridges.  Copy and paste this web 
site into explorer and see if your bridge can withstand an earthquake.
