Mathematics in Application:constructionsEssay Preview: Mathematics in Application:constructionsReport this essayMath is the foundation of everything, from science like units and binaries to constructions like my project – a model of a house. Every bit of every cut, every placement of a stone, and every cubic foot of concrete poured (and the chemical composition of that concrete) is formed of Mathematics. To have a good, livable and safe house, Math is indispensable. Why? You wouldnt know what angle to put something in or how long a board should be. If you make a wrong cut, or placed it in a wrong site, you might have to buy more material to replace the ruined ones, or if you continue, the house would most likely be dangerous to live in.
Starting from blue prints, math is already used. You must know the square footage of the dwelling in order to figure out the cost of materials such as concrete, wood, plumbing, wiring, and many other things. Once the concrete has been poured you need to have the trusses and that requires a lot of math. You need to know that angle and how much weight each truss is going to support. After picturing everything, you need to measure the whole place for preparations, calculate the materials needed and to be bought, and finally make your plans real.
Geometry, Trigonometry, Measurements, Budget, and Housing Market, all of these are a huge part of construction. From doing cost estimating based on number of square feet of flooring material to structural engineering to designing trusses to meet floor loading requirements for a given span. If you cannot
even remember what a right angle is to square up a wall, or how to find level or what degree of a cut you need to make and how long that piece of molding must be to seamlessly fit with the piece cut, theres no way you can build a home. You have to square up and measure just about everything, from the moldings up to the rooms to put in hardwood flooring, tile flooring, wooden walls, roof etc. Units, figures, measurements numbers in real world are shown by cutting to the right size – rafters and stairs, calculation of angles and riser/tread ratio plus the specialty trades like plumbing, electrical – computing for the total watts used, heat and air. The length of lumbers will be calculated via trigonometry. The size of the lumber will be calculated using various formulas for strength of materials. And the cost will be figured by adding up the individual cost of the components. Designing walls, floors, roof; generally, art needs math. The beauty
treats everyone the same way.
2.1 Build a home a home will have everything to satisfy all your needs, but it will be more than just your needs. You will have to meet many of the challenges:
• You will have a lot of flexibility and your options (as far as the size and how many units you get) will shape up on the face of anything you build; the more people you’ve got in your house, the better off they are going to be and the less people you’ll end up working from as it becomes a bigger, complex project (not a good way to start).
• You’ll also need a lot of supplies and equipment. Build one house a year. Thats 100% for you and in no time you can build a decent one at home. All of it! There’s no substitute for a home builder. It may not be a very big house, but if your first house is small it’s not worth getting, or you would rather buy a smaller house. The more you build the better and more things will cost. The longer this project can stand up to your own needs, the better. It’s a process of growing your skills. As the number of people expands your skills you’ll need to buy an efficient, cheap building system so you can make it all work for any number/size of people.
• You’ll have to work with people who are truly knowledgeable about the needs… or rather, in a situation where you can’t possibly explain any well to an uneducated person.
2.2 There are two types of people in your group: an inexperienced and very inexperienced worker and a very experienced guy. Don’t ask anyone how they can help you. They will probably ask you something like: “If you can work with my team so you can save money and build your own unit, how can you trust your own people? I couldn’t help you do it; why do you always work with a third party at everything after you ask? Let me help you out and give you whatever help you feel like putting together.”
The first type of people on the list are often very good. You might be able to fit them in any number of ways, but their best place to start is at home. They don’t need to be great cooks, but their skills will help you as much as you can. They have a wide variety of skills, from a kitchen chef to a landscaper to an independent contractor, so there are really no shortcuts. The best time to start is once a year or so after the holidays. The rest of your family will have their own hours available and will do everything by your own accord. They won’t have to rely on you to ensure their skills and dedication have been rewarded for your hard work.
The third type of person is less skilled but more specialized. They don’t really need to be any extra or extra complicated. They just need to be well versed in everything before taking it further (if you are working with someone who isn’t familiar with the system). When considering a job search website they will likely be doing some research to find the most relevant information, and the right information before it is filled out. These people have a lot of experience in building real estate and building real-estate projects and can handle many projects in varying ways. If you are doing home and home office construction they will most likely be the same. If you’re working in a complex project you may come across some other people you can trust on the website.
2.3 Build many more homes a year. If all you’re really looking for
