Lucky, sounds like fun. Even in our higher mechanics course (M4 OCR) we don't cover anything like that I think.
Closest we've come was some extension showing how the cosh curve (reversed catenary) was in lowest energy state (as if hung).
And that was way off piste.
Yeh, wouldn't be in single maths. Haven't come across it in the STEP I've done and it doesn't appear to be on the further maths course I'm taking.
Sad times.

Thanks for the link guys.
