A mathematics course for architecture students

Pages 121-132 | Published online: 03 Aug 2006
 

Abstract

A mathematics course for architecture students is a case apart in that architecture is a discipline where teachers are, for the most part, unaware of the power of mathematical methods and where, because of the visual and aesthetic aspect of the subject, there is a tendency for professors and practitioners to avoid mathematical techniques, especially in connection with model building.

On the basis of experience the author discusses various aspects of such a course including the students, teaching of the course and the course content itself. Specific suggestions are given.
