How is math used in architecture?

Answer 1

Answer

Math is used architecture every angle, wall legnth and everything like that must be exact so the building does not fall over when a lot of people go inside of it.

Mathematics is essential to the study and practice of Architecture. Every detail, big nor small should have exact measurements. The angles of the roof, the thickness of a wall, the amount of materials that will be used, calculating the exact location of a building and even the number of detail, these all includes math.

Improved Answer

While it should most surely be a concern that buildings do not fall over when people enter them, the role of mathematics in architecture extends beyond the scope of static equilibrium problems from mechanics. There are various mathematical tools like partial derivatives, multiple integrals, and systems of differential equations that can be used to mathematically describe surfaces for the adaption of drawings to computer software, maximize the volume of a room given certain constraints, maximize the amount of sunlight that enters a room on any given day, etc.

Answer 2

Architecture and math go together because you have to calculate angles and the position of stuff and you have to calculate how much money you will need to complete the task and also you have to know your profit

Answer 3

Scale drawings, design using various math shapes, strength of materials to decide on how large support beams etc. sizes compared to comfort of occupants, need for enlarged sizes for manufacturing buildings, cost analysis based on all the above and more.
