Teaching Method

Outline:
In accordance with the textbook, we will explain how each item of mathematics is used in architecture, focusing on examples of its use.
Style:
1. The content of the class will be based on the textbook and will be guided by student presentations (Q&A) each time.
2. Understand the mathematics used in architecture, how to use it, and the characteristics of the resulting phenomena.
3. Report assignments will be given as appropriate.
Notice:
Since the main focus is on architecture and mathematical application to their own themes, students should learn voluntarily from that perspective.
