ANDAMAN AND NICOBAR ISLANDS
The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are a group of islands located in the Bay of
Bengal, towards the southeastern part of the Indian subcontinent. They are an
archipelago consisting of 572 islands, out of which only 37 are inhabited. The
capital city is Port Blair.
ANDAMAN AND NICOBAR CULTURE
The islands have a rich and diverse cultural heritage, influenced by indigenous tribes, colonial
history, and a mix of Indian, Southeast Asian, and British influences. The indigenous tribes,
such as the Great Andamanese, Jarawas, and Sentinelese, have inhabited these islands for
thousands of years and have a unique way of life. However, access to many of these tribes is
strictly restricted in order to protect their way of life and preserve their culture.
MATHEMATICAL CONCEPTS USED IN ARCHITECTURE
1. Geometry:
Geometry is fundamental to architectural design, and various geometric principles are
applied to create harmonious and aesthetically pleasing structures. Architects in Andaman and
Nicobar use mathematical concepts like symmetry, proportion, and balance to achieve
visually appealing designs. They employ geometric shapes such as circles, squares,
rectangles, and triangles to create floor plans, facades, and layouts.

2. Structural Stability:
Mathematics is essential in ensuring the structural stability and integrity of buildings.
Architects use mathematical calculations and formulas to determine the load-bearing capacity
of materials, the distribution of weight, and the forces acting on a structure. Mathematical
concepts such as calculus, trigonometry, and physics are employed to analyze and optimize
the strength and stability of buildings, particularly in areas prone to earthquakes or cyclones.
