Engineering and Design

Math in Construction and Technology

Engineers and designers use Pre-Calculus concepts to create safe, efficient structures and devices. Functions and analytical geometry allow for precise measurements and calculations.

Real-World Examples

  • Bridges and tunnels: Calculating curves for strength and stability.
  • Computer graphics: Modeling objects using geometry and functions.
  • Sound engineering: Using waves (trigonometry) for perfect acoustics.

Impact

The math you learn today might be part of tomorrow’s coolest buildings, cars, or video games!

Examples

  • An architect uses parabolas to design an elegant archway.

  • A video game designer creates realistic roller coaster tracks using polynomial functions.
