What maths do they have in architecture

Hi nirmal, The types of mathematics in architecture is Geometry: Geometry is the study of shapes and how they interact with each other, as well as how the size of shapes relate in proportion to the space they take up. Because so much of designing the angles, corners and lines of a building rely on an understanding of shapes, geometry is a required course for any architectural degree. Trigonometry: Trigonometry is a specific type of mathematics that deals with the angles, sides and corners of triangles. This branch of math is essential for architects because it teaches how to include angles and corners in architectural designs. Like geometry, this course enables an architect to draw buildings to scale, so that when they are constructed, they are sturdy. Calculus: Calculus is the study of mathematical change. Architectural students are required to take many calculus classes because they teach building design based on a series of construction details Finite Math: Finite math is the opposite of calculus in that it requires analytical thinking instead of a focus on mathematical change. Architectural students take a series of finite math courses to learn how to create mathematical models and calculate probability and statistical equations. Linear programming: Courses in linear programming and optimization teach architecture majors how to find the best possible value in certain situations.
