A solution to the Brachistochrone problem using only 7 tricks.

The Brachistochrone problem is to find the path between two points along which a frictionless bead can slide in the LEAST amount of time.

Here is my solution - I hate it because it uses a bunch of tricks.

Don't hate tricks. Call them insights and you won't hate them.

I am loving your videos. I feel like sometimes you are too hasty in explaining several steps. Overall it is great.

Just to check, at 7:10 you say there's no x…but there's an x-prime, and isn't the derivative of x-prime wrt x supposed to be x-double-prime? No doubt I'm missing something either very subtle or very obvious…

The only one thing I cannot make out in all these brachistochrone solutions is how the y substitution works...where did that trigonometric expression come from? How do we know that y is equal to that?... Could someone explain it to me?

Ok. I’m trying to do this BUT my professor made x the vertical element, so v=(2gx)^1/2…. Making a big mess basically. Trying to do all the partials by hand and simplifying is a headache and I know I solved it the normal way during undergrad (Grad student rn). Really isn’t looking good

at 9:38, why did we make the constant be 2a and how is the constant squared then 1/2a?
