3. I have chosen to study architecture because I find drawings and buildings particularly interesting.
Throughout this investigation I will be focusing on three types of maths
Geometry
Probability
Scale drawing
introduction

4. Architecture is the study of buildings mainly drawing and designing them
Planning and drawing out diagrams of buildings in a skill architects have to have…
Architecture also involves a lot of maths, mainly geometry and a lot of angles
What is architecture

5. When is maths used Maths is mainly used in architecture for…
It is also used to express design features of the structure and the look
Maths has the most important part in the job basically to ensure that the building stands.
When is maths used

6. Geometry Geometry is right at the heart of architecture because…
It is also influenced by a lot of architectural topics like
Curves on the buildings
Surface creation
Design
Manufacturing
Geometry

7. Architects use probability all the time ,this type of maths is particularly important in the job because the architect has to find the probability of the building that he has designed will stand or not .
If the architecture for instance found out his design had a half chance of standing the building would probably not be built
probability

8. Scale drawing is probably the most common maths in architecture because…
the plan drawing has to be very detailed and neat (most are computer typed) they have to have all the right angles and directions in them because ultimately this is the drawing that the builders are going to be working off.
Scale drawing

9. Any questions conclusion
Overall I have really enjoyed studying architecture & maths. It has been a great experience because it has given me a lot of knowledge about one off the jobs I am interested in for my future.
I particularly enjoyed finding out what its all about and would love to study the topic in more detail, I hope all of you enjoyed it as much as me thankyou for listening.
