THE ROLE OF MATHEMATICS IN THE FORMATION OF DESIGN COMPETENCE OF FUTURE ARCHITECTS AND BUILDING ENGINEERS

The foundational principles of design have been built on mathematics since the beginning of time. Based on Euclid's classical geometry, mathematics was one of the branches of architecture in ancient Greece. At this time, graduates of the university's construction and architecture disciplines cannot possibly be expected to have advanced mathematical proficiency. We work on professional-focused assignments and projects with students to help future architects and civil engineers strengthen their mathematical proficiency. Mathematical foundations are required for all design solutions in architecture and construction. Therefore, any architect or civil engineer should be familiar with the theoretical underpinnings of mathematics, have the ability to create mathematical models, and be able to use mathematical-statistical approaches to process experimental data in order to address real-world problems.
