Perfect Form : : Variational Principles, Methods, and Applications in Elementary Physics / / Don S. Lemons.
What does the path taken by a ray of light share with the trajectory of a thrown baseball and the curve of a wheat stalk bending in the breeze? Each is the subject of a different study yet all are optimal shapes; light rays minimize travel time while a thrown baseball minimizes action. All natural c...
