I know you need to know how to read a write for life, but how in the world does math come into play anywhere in life? Believe it or not math is actually very important, it's kinda like a third language. You need math so you can see how much groceries are or to even make or design a building. This math is also known as algebra and geometry. No you may not uses algebra and geometry in the store but you will use it in sport and jobs like Civil Engineer or Architecture.

Architecture begins with geometry. Since earliest times, architects have relied on mathematical principles. From the pyramids in Egypt to the new World Trade Center tower in New York City, great architecture uses the same essential building blocks as your body and all living things.

Civil Engineers have to know how to design and assemble shapes to construct buildings, dams, bridges, tunnels, highway systems. Civil Engineer must understand and know how to compute such quantities as lengths, areas, volumes, centroids, moments of inertia, and curvatures of a building. Civil Engineers also help build my most favorite place in the world, they help with the designing of soccer fields. The whole field is 120 by 75 yards, the midfield has to be right in the middle of the field, they also have to measure the size of the keeper box which is 6 yards by 20 yards and the penalty box is 18 yards by 40 yards,they also have to help construct the goals that is the length of 8 yards, and last the corners of the field have to be exactly 90 degrees with a quarter circle on the inside of the field so we know where to take the corner kick

    I had the pleasure of interviewing Bob Appleton, a civil engineer at Texas A&M. The questions I asked him that taught me the most about civil engineering were “What is your daily job as a civil engineer?” and “What are the personal qualities you need to be a civil engineer? For example, motivation, etc.” Mr. Appleton said as a civil engineer, your daily job is to take data that surveyors collected in the field, either on the the ground or by aerial photographs (which he explained as being similar to images seen on Google Earth). Then you use the data to create drawings and designs for many different structures such as buildings, roads, bridges, ports, etc. Mr. Appleton said that to be a civil engineer you need to possess the qualities of integrity…

    Even though math is not a strong subject of mine I think math is used in someone’s everyday life. When making a decision math helps me think of the different possibilities and outcomes to make the best possible decision. Math is involved in many of the jobs society has to offer today. Engineering, construction, computer programmer, financial advisor, market analyst, and many more all include the involvement of math.…

    Another reason why math is important is because it helps you with your personal finances. Examples of this are when you’re dining out at a restaurant you found using Google maps and you and your friends finish eating and the bill comes. After you guys finish arguing who should pay for the bill you decide to split the bill evenly. That requires math if you want to divide it fairly. You also use it to balance a check book or even when you’re cooking. If the recipe calls for half a cup of flour you need to know how to cut something in half.…

    Architecture is composed by 6 fundamental principles: order, arrangement, eurhythmy, symmetry, propriety and economy. These principles are the most important properties of an architectonic work. It is basic that an architect should learn how to use them. On the other hand, architecture has three main departments: the art of building, the making of timepieces, and the construction of machinery. The art of building consists on the construction of fortified towns and of works for general use in public places. There are three…

    Civil engineering is the oldest of the main branches of engineering. Civil engineers use their knowledge to supervise and plan construction projects such as roads, airports, bridges, canals, tunnels, and wastewater systems. They also collaborate with architects to design and construct various types of buildings. Some other civil engineering endeavors include highways, airports, pipelines, railroads, levees, and irrigation and sewage systems. Civil engineers try to design their structures to be functional, efficient and durable. Most of the projects civil engineers are involved with have an impact on the environment. They use their knowledge of the environment to create structures that are not harmful. These structures must also meet building codes and other regulations.…

    Science and mathematics have been my strong suit since my schooldays, as is evident from the grades I received. I have strived to be an engineer since my high school. I have been waiting for an opportunity to apply my concepts of mathematics and physics in the real world. My father, who is a mechanical engineer from the same college I am graduating from, played a huge role in inspiring me to pursue engineering. Amongst all branches of engineering, the range and application of Civil Engineering is the broadest and the most visible.…

    In mathematics almost everything you learn is useful, even if you can’t see it right way. All the formulas, theorem, ideas, proofs, and problems you study in high schools and colleges are connected to lots of real world applications, even if you don’t see them now. And more importantly, even if you think you’ll never use the specific things you are studying, they help develop your mind and make it easier for you to solve other problems, later the problems you really care about. It’s like boxing: training programmes for boxers often involve lots of jumping rope. A boxer might complain ‘’When am I ever going to use this? I am never going to jump rope in a match “But jumping rope makes them better boxers, even though the boxers never jump rope while fighting. The mathematics you are learning is much more useful than jumping rope; but even if you never use it in your life yet, it makes you smarter. That is the most important reason to study it.…
