Mike the Bike!

In this project, we use Mathematica to create a 3D graph of a bicycle. We combine simple geometric pieces together to simulate the structure of a real bicycle. For example, the core structure is mainly formed by cylinders, and the paddles are more like thin cuboids.

We conduct a lot of calculations for the starting and ending coordinates of each component so that all parts can connect to together, which requires the understanding of the xyz coordinate and multivariable calculus. This project shows that a complex structure in the real world can be split up and simplified into basic geometric components.
