  • An architect uses math to figure how much room he has to build in and the exact size of almost everything they build. Architectural work has to be very precise and math is the only way to do that.

  • While the above is true, an architect also needs to understand the properties of the materials that he/she is using. How strong IS that beam? What forces will be on it when he cantilevers a portion of a building, and how will he use the materials to meet the customers needs?

    An architect is both a designer AND an engineer; both an artist and a technician. When spanning a distance it is essential that one know how to calculate the loads, torque and sheer forces. Math is integral to that process. "pardon the pun"
