Almost everything in the world needs mathematics. In other words without the math the evolution and improvement that this world has been made would not be able to succeed as now days without the existence or use of math. If a person start looking around carefully they are always little details when the mathematics came out as if the math were alive. There are many kind of mathematics in the world and each of them is used in different ways, sometimes for specific things such as; geometry, algebra (including algebra 2, intermediate algebra), Calculus (pre-calculus, calculus 1 and calculus 2), Statistics and so forth. . For example, “Thank Mathematics architect today has more freedom of design"

Mathematics has a direct application in architecture. Because, before an architect gets down to work, he has to verify if the structure he wants to build is achievable given the strength of the materials. Also, mathematic relates to architecture the cost for the materials that are going to be used in the construction of it. On another hand, Math can be used by architect to express the design images on a drawing that can then be used by construction workers to build that image for everyone to see. Mathematics is required to analyze and calculate structural problems in order to get a solution that will guarantee that a structure will remain standing and firm. Most of the design and shapes are possible to be described because of Pythagorean Theorem. This ancient mathematical formula is one of the fundamental concepts of geometry. Even though it was invented ages ago this formula is used by architects and engineers today.

One of the areas that have been implemented the most in architecture is the hyperbolic paraboloid. The hyperbolic paraboloi...

...All three conic sections can be characterized by moiré patterns. If the center of each of two sets of concentric circles is the source of a radio signal, the synchronized signals would intersect one another in associated hyperbolas. This principle forms the basis of a hyperbolic radio navigation system known as Loran (Long Range Navigation).
Mathematics is present our surroundings and . Simply put us in front of one structure or construction and contemplate carefully to observe that the order reflected in its architectural image is closely related to the insertion there in of geometric figures, and the existence of relationships between these elements, so that the architectural composition is closely linked to mathematics, and geometry. Learn to see the architecture is somehow discovering in it the perfection that gives its geometric design and mathematical system.
