The math skills needed to create or construct a building are not many indeed. If you have ever watched someone build anything, you may have seen them use a tape measurer or a ruler. they are not supposed to. The ability to measure is a basic math skill. It is how an architect communicates the length or size of things we want to build. We must be able to add and subtract these numbers but also must be able to use fractions of these numbers. Today, we deal with measurements that are both the English system and the Metric system. Architects use math to convert between these two systems of measurement. You may also find architects using the many formulas and principles of geometry to create a building. Think about designing a building. How strong do the walls and beams and ceilings need to be? You figure that out with math, knowing the weights and strengths of the materials. How much of the materials do you need? It depends on the sizes of the walls, rooms, ceilings, all of that is math. Is concrete cheaper, or steel or cinder block? It depends on how much of each you need, what they cost to buy and build. How long will each stage of the construction take, and how can they be planned to overlap to get the building done the fastest? How much does each sq. foot. of the building rent for, and how long will it take to pay off the investment? How will it affect traffic in the neighborhood? How big does the garage need to be to hold the cars of what percentage of the people who work in the building or customers/clients who visit the building?
What about windows? How many sq. feet per wall? 567. How much heat will build up in the rooms because of the windows? That will affect how much air conditioning you need. Also windows leak heat during the Winter so more of them means more heat too. How many electrical outlets do you need? How many amps do you need from the power lines? How many circuit-breakers? How many lighting fixtures do you need? In modern buildings, the lighting system is considered part of the heating system--which is why you see lights on in skyscrapers in the middle of the night when nobody is there.
For big, tall buildings, architects are even concerned with how the wind affects them, how it swirls between buildings. They use computer models for this. Also things like earthquake resistance.
There's almost every kind of math here! Geometry and trig, calculus, accounting, engineering, finite element analysis, computer modeling, etc.etc.
Yes, to become an architect you do indeed need to take a lot of math classes. Your math skills must be fine tuned.
Math is neede to be an architect because you draw the layout of houses and everything so you need to make the sq feet into inches to draw the house the exact way.
A surveyor would need to know basic mathematics with additional knowledge of trigonometry.
No. You need to know it. If you go to the store you need to know how to read the prices and to figure out if you have enough money to buy what you want. Someday you will want a house or a car so math is needed in both of those things. If you want to measure for drapes or rugs you need math. To balance your checkbook you need math, to make change or get change you need math, to do your taxes you need math, to cook you need math, to know what kind of gas mileage you get you need math, to sew you need math, to frame a picture you need math, to figure your GPA you need math. Math is used for just about everything.
Bank tellers need to know subtraction and addition. and multiplicaiton and division. (arithmetic)
i dont know the answer. i need the answer. :) ⬅️ nice answer
Yes it does. You will need competency in algebra, trigonometry, and calculus.
The math requirements can vary, however the math can include up to calculus I, II, III, and differential equations.
Writers do not need to know math to succeed.
Quadratics, to be able to calculate the parabolas when one shoots a basketball.
No, but you still need it!
math is used everywhere you go. for example math is in the store, when you calculate the total payments and discounts. another examples are that math can be used as an architect to find perimeters, angles, length, width... even as a truck driver because you need to know how many goods are supposed to be loaded, how much do each weigh...
