symetric designs, ratios from diagram to real material

Sure, use a calculator, use Excel, use Mathcad, use Matlab

Statics?  Statistics?

Math is used all the time in the engineering sciences.  Many physical phenomena, including fluid flow, heat transport, and diffusion can be described by appropriate partial differential equations.  In order to solve these equations and make predictions, you need to be good at calculus.\n\nIf you limit yourself to addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, you would be stuck with linear models for everything.  This means that any more complicated relationship between two variables could not be modeled continuously, and you would never be able to extrapolate with any confidence.  Thus development of new technology would be strictly trial and error (and you wouldn't even have a good trial and error system without statistics).\n\nHang in there!  Get through that math.  You don't have to like it, but you will inevitably appreciate the developments that math has enabled.

Matlab, Gauss, S+ and probably a lot more.\n\nIn a pinch, you can also use MS-Excel.\nDownload this pdf file from Cliff Ragsdale´s book site:\nhttp://swlearning.com/quant/ragsdale/chapter12.exe\nIt actually works better than you´d think.\n\nOr go to http://swlearning.com/quant/ragsdale/fourth_edition/ragsdale.html\npick previous edition and student resource.

Architecture work is very stressful. The school load alone is very demanding and that is before internship and, eventually, practice. \n\nAs far as what an architect will design, it is purely a matter of skill and luck. Some architects will be designing houses for the rest of their lives. Others will gain some popularity, hopefully in a justified way, and build office buildings and libraries and museums, but this is obviously a very small minority of architects. According to the AIA the average architect's salary is $50,000-60,000; Nothing to sneeze at, but all the same your salary will depend on your skill and luck, which are basically set to begin with.\n\nI would recommend biochem if you are looking for a career with more promises. Architectural asthetics are obviously subjective and not everyone is going to like your work. If you make a breakthrough in biochem, on the other hand, you are dealing with hard scientific facts that can not be so easily/whimsically criticized.\n\nI am going into architecture because I want to do low-cost housing. Not the most glamour filled approach, but I am not doing it for money. It is going to be hard, but I am willing to survive it. If you love and are good at both, architecture will definitely be more unpredictable. Best of luck with your decision.

Lots of places, actually.  Algebraic number theory, Galois theory, linear algebra, discrete geometry, and other fields have shown tremendous usefulness in producing hard-to-break cryptography and digital signature schemes.\n\nAlgebraic geometry, abstract algebra, some real analysis, discrete geometry, linear algebra, Galois theory, and other fields are integral in the design of error correcting codes used currently in CDs, DVDs, satellite communications, your telephone and broadband lines, and many other places where reliable communication is needed.\n\nComputer science (I hope the applications of this are obvious!) essentially grew out of mathematical logic, with lots of influence from universal algebra and category theory.\n\nArtificial intelligence research also borrows heavily from several mathematical fields, most especially mathematical logic.  Though the true "thinking computer" is still science fiction, some of the results of this research is already used in word processors (including the dreaded "Clippy"!!!! but more useful places too), voice recognition software, automatic optimization algorithms for electronic circuit designs,  and other software, and don't forget the Roomba!\n\nAbstract analysis has solved many problems in fluid dynamics, with applications to aerodynamic design, electronic circuit design, Internet traffic management, and even road system design!  (Cars on the road behave a lot like fluid in pipes).\n\nLie algebras, tensor algebras, manifold theory, algebraic topology, systems theory, and several other abstract mathematical topics come into play with the General Theory of Relativity (GPS satellites take into account the General Theory of Relativity for their calculations--or else they would give badly inaccurate results!  Not only their motion, but the Earth's gravity has an effect on measuring time, which is essential to the process of geolocation) as well as quantum theory (which gave us the transistor, the laser, superconductors, and other current technology....and far more future technology) and very importantly, at least from an intellectual viewpoint, much progress on "how the universe works" fundamentally (we don't know for sure yet!).

When you build an addition on your house, you use geometry to figure out how much material you need and you use algebra to figure out what it costs.  Otherwise, you get started building and you run out of materials and money when you are only half-way through.

Architects use parts of an inch =1'\nSo if shown a scale 1/8"=1'\nA line that measures 1" the length is 8'\n\nOn the bad side on nearly every floorplan I've seen had an open dimension, usually at one end of a building with a dimension like 8'3&3/4"+/-

You can build all (or most of) the platonic and archimedaic solids using Origami.\n\nYou can also buid conic sections (hyperboles, parabola, ellypse and circle) by repeatedly folding a piece of paper along the tangents, point by point, using fundamental properties of each one. (= you get them as the envelope of their tangents).

Find an architect or architectural drafter.\nGo to the library and get a book on architecture.\nPretty hard to explain how to read a drawing in an email.

Firstly look at all the different engineering feats that men has ever engaged in - for example your desk, the home you live in, lights, cars, highways, computers, TV, Internet, commerical planes, ipod etc - everything is related to mathematics!\n\nWhile eating your meal think about this, how would a chef be able to cook that delicious dish without the use of mathematical principles of proportion.\n\nThe designer clothes that you are currently wearing, how would the designer be able to create such clothes without the help of mathematical measuring instruments.\n\nThe back engine of any business enterprise is mathematics! Without a sound mathematical business strategy, business can go bankrupt overnight!\n\nAnd the list goes on! \n\nSorry to say, but i think you had a very lousy Mathematics Teacher!

ECAD is I presume: Electronic Computer Aided Design. \nBest, use AUTOCAD. Its drawing designs in a comp. Its mostly used by architects. For Eg. Drawing a blue print for\nyour house etc.

Universidad Autonoma de Guadalajara, have good cathedras about architecture, also no is so expensive. Check the web about.Also the Universidad Autonoma de Mexico, but the city is nasty for foreigners, some ones like Tecnologico de Monterrey, expensive and no to much to learn, for me UAG.Also you can take the UAG and have you maestria in Mexico and do your degree here in USA you save a lot a money.
