Abstract: This paper reviews Johann Bernoulli's solution to the Brachistochrone problem, using an analogy to the movement of light and Fermat's principle of least time. Bernoulli's method is later used to derive solutions to some generalizations of the Brachistochrone problem. The problems solved using Bernoulli's method are the classical flat gravity Brachistochrone, spherical gravity outside the earth, and spherical gravity inside the earth ('gravity train').
