THE GREAT MATHEMATICIAN
(ARYABHATTA)

INTRODUCTION-

1. HE WAS THE FIRST OF


THE MAJOR
MATHEMATICIAN-
ASTRONOMERS FROM
THE CLASSICAL AGE OF
BHARAT ASTRONOMY
TITLE- MATHEMATICS IN ancient ARCHITECTURE
. MATHEMATICS IS USED IN ARCHITECTURE FOR A VARIETY OF PURPOSES
.HOW MATH IS USED IN ARCHITECTURE
A. MEASURING MATERIALS
B.CALCULATING ANGLES AND SLOPES
C .DETERMING THE AMOUNT OF MATERIAL NEEDED FOR A PROJECT
D.ACCURATELY ESTIMATING QUANTITIES AND DIMENSIONS
E.SETTING OUT A BUILDING ON SITE

.WHICH CONCEPTS OF MATHEMATICS USED IN


ARCHITECTURE
. FRACTIONS AND DECIMALS
.BASIC ALGEBRA
.MEASUREMENT AND CONVERSION
.AREA AND VOLUME
. TRIGNOMETRY
WHY IS MATH IMPORTANT IN CONSTRUCTION

i. MATH IN ARCHITECURE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU MIGHT THINK


ii. THE ARCHITECURE INDUSRTRY IS ONE OF THE LARGEST AND MOST DIVERSE
INDUSTRIES IN THE WORLD WITH BILLIONS OF PEOPLE OPERATING IN THE TRADE
iii. WHEATHER IT IS SPACE TO LIVE ON PLACES TO WORK ON RECREATIONAL SPORTS OR
CREATING WONDERFUL MONUMENTS,ARCHITECTURE IS UNIVERSAL
iv. FROM ASTRONOMY TO ASTROLOGY ,FROM OUTLINING BLUEPRINTS TO CREATING
EXTRAORDINARY SKYSCRAPERS IT’S A TOOL TO FIND SOLUTIONS AND BALANCE OUT
THE PROPORTIONS OF ANY GIVEN ELEMENT
v. MAHEMATICS HAS BEEN UTILISED IN THE FIELD OF ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION
SINCE THE ANCIENT PERIOD.ANCIENT ENGINEERS AND ARCHITECTS WERE ALSO
MOSTLY MATHEMATICIANS WHO CONTRIBUTED TO THE CREATION OF EXTRAORDINARY
WONDERS IN THE WORLD SUCH AS THE GREAT PYRAMIDS FABULOUS TEMPLES,EXTRA
VAGANT STADIUMS,AND OTHER STUNNING MONUMENTS ETC.
vi. EVERY BUILDING LIKE AS SCHOOLS, LIBRARIES, HOUSES, APARTMENTS, MOVIE
THEATRES, AND EVEN YOUR FAVOURITE ICE CREAM SHOP IS THE PRODUCT OF
MATHEMATICAL PRINCIPLES APPLIED TO DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION.
Q.HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED HOW BUILDING
PROFESSIONALS INCORPORATE MATH TO
CREATE THE COMMON STRUCTURES YOU
WALK IN AND OUT EVERYDAY?
a. BEFORE CONSTRUCTION WORKERS CAN BUILD A HABITABLE STRUCTURE, AN
ARCHITECT HAS TO DESIGN IT.
b. GEOMETRY, ALGEBRA AND TRIGNOMETRY ALL PLAY A CRUCIAL ROLE IN
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN.
c. ARCHITECTS APPLY THESE MATH FORMS TO PLAN THEIR BLUEPRINTS OR INITIAL
SKETCH DESIGNS.
.ANCIENT BHARATIYA ARCHITECTURE
a. SINCE ANCIENT TIMES, ARCHITECTS
HAVE USED GEOMETRIC PRINCIPLES TO
PLAN THE SHAPES AND SPATIAL FORMS
OF BUILDINGS.
b. IN 300 B.C. THE GREEK MATHEMATICIAN
EUCLID DEFINED A MATHEMATICAL
LAW OF NATURE CALLED THE GOLDEN
RATIO.
c. FOR MORE THAN 2000 YEARS
ARCHITECTS HAVE USED THIS
FORMULA TO DESIGN PROPORTIONS IN
BUILDINGS THAT LOOK PLEASING TO
THE HUMAN EYE.
d. THE PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM
• THE MOST REMARKABLE ANCIENT ARCHITECTURE OF ALL MAY BE THE
PYRAMIDS OF EGYPT CONSTRUCTED BETWEEN 2700 B.C. AND ALSO 1700 B.C.
MOST OF THEM WERE BUILT AND SCALED AT ABOUT A 51- DEGREE ANGLE.

 GLIMPSES OF BHARTIYA ARCHITECTURE


 THE GEOMETRY OF CIRCLES, SQUARES, TRIANGLES AND POLYGONS WHICH ARE
USED TO CREATE INTRICATE PATTERNS AND DESIGNS ON THE WALLS AND
PILLARS OF THE TEMPLE.
 THE SYMMETRY OF THR TEMPLE LAYOUT WHICH REFLECTS THE BALANCE AND
HARMONY OF THE COSMOS.
 THE SUNDIALS WHICH ARE FORMED BY THE 24 GIANT CARVED WHEELS ON THE
SIDES OF THE TEMPLE.
 THE KONARK SUN TEMPLE IS AN ASTRONOMICAL WONDER WHICH LEAVES A
GREAT IMPACT ON ITS VISITORS.
 BUILT IN 1250 A.D. IT IS STUNNING EXAMPLE OF THE MATHEMATICS USED IN AN
ANCIENT INDIAN ARCHITECTURE.
 JAIN ARCHITECTURE
.JAIN TEMPLES HAVE NUMEROUS PILLARS HAVING A WELL DESIGNED
STRUCTURE,FORMING SQUARES

1. THE SQUARES THUS FORMED CREATE CHEMBERS,USED


AS SMALL CHAPELS AND CONTAINS THE IMAGE OF
DEITY

2.FROM THESE PILLARS, THERE ARE RICHLY CRAVED


BRACKETS THAT EMERGE AT ABOUT TWOTHIRDS OF
THERE HEIGHTS

3.THE ROOF OF THESE TEMPLES HAVE POINTY DOMES AND


WHEREVER THERE IS DOME,THE PILLARS ARE OMITTED TO CREATE
AN OCTAGONAL SPACE WITHIN
 VIRUPAKSHA TEMPLE
• BUILY IN DRAVIDIYAN STYLE OF ARCHITECTURE
THE TEMPLE HAS THREE MUKHAMANDAPAS ON
THREE SIDES WITH A LARGE STONE GATEWAY
ON THE EAST TOWARDS MALAPRABHA RIVER.

• THE UNIQUE FEATURE OF VIRUPAKSHA TEMPLE


IS USAGE OF MATHEMATICAL CONCEPTS IN ITS
CONSTRUCTION AND DECORATION

• VIRUPAKSHA TEMPLE AT PATTADAKAL SEEDED


WITH MATHEMATICAL CONCEPTS LIKE AS
TRANGULAR DOME AND SQUARE LAYOUT TO
RECURRENT FRACTAL PATTERNS THAT ECHO THE
GEOMETRIC OF NATURE
 CHAR MINAR
1. AS THE NAME WOULD SUGGEST,THE DESIGN OF
THIS MONUMENT LINKS TO THE NUMBER FOUR
AND ITS MULTIPLES.

2. EACH MINARET CROWNED WITH A


VOLUMINIOUS DOME WITH A PETAL-LIKE
DESIGN AT THE BASE AND 149 STEPS LEADING
TO THE UPPER FLOOR .

3. THE CHAR MINAR IS THE IDEAL EXAMPLE OF


MATHEMATICS IN ARCHITECTURE LIKE AS THE
NUMBER ‘CHAR’(FOUR) AND ITS MULTIPLES
FIGURE IN AT LEAST 22 SPOTS IN THE
DESIGNING OF CHAR MINAR
 SOME IMPORTANT CONCEPTS OF
MATHEMATICS IS USED IN
ARCHITECTURE

 TRIGNOMETRIC FUNCTIONS

 ALGEBRIC FUNCTIONS

 GEOMETRIC FUNCTIONS
 TRIGNOMETRY-

 TRIGNOMETRIC FUNCTIONS LIKE SIN AND COSINE FUNCTIONS


DETERMINES A VECTOR’S COMPONENTS IF YOU EXPRESS IT TERMS OF THE
ANGLE IT FORMS RELATIVE TO AN AXIS

 ARCHITECTS USE TRIGNOMETRY TO CALCULATE STRUCTURAL LOAD,ROOF


SLOPES,GROUND SURFACES AND MAY OTHER ASPECTS,INCLUDING SUN
SHADING AND LIGHT ANGLES

 TRIGNOMETRIC FUNCTIONS ARE USED TO CALCULATE HEIGHT OF


STRUCTURES,LIGHT ANGLES,EXACT INTERSECTION ANGLES
 ALGEBRA-

 ONE OF THE MOST COMMON ALGEBRIC THEROMS THAT


ARCHITECT’S USE IS THE PYTHAGORAS THEROM

 LINEAR ALGEBRA IS BASIC TOOL FOR ARCHITECTS,SINCE


LINEAR ALGEBRA GIVE THE MATHEMATICAL BACKGROUND
FOR VECTORS AND MATRICES,THE TOOL USED TO WORK
WITH FORCES

 ALGEBRA IS USED IN ARCHITECTURE TO CALCULATE


IMPORTANT VALUES. FOR EXAMPLE, ALGEBRICCAN BE USED
TO CALCULATE HOW LARGE TO MAKE CERTAIN PARTS,ON
THE BASIS ON THE SIZE OF THE BUILDINGS DESIGN
 GEOMETRY-

 THE BEST KNOWN TYPES OF GEOMETRY ARE


EUCLIDEAIN,PROJECTIVE,ANALYTICAL,TOPOL
OGY,DESCRIPTIVE,FRACTAL…ETC

 GEOMETRIC FORMS ALSO HELD SYMBOLIC


SIGNIFICANS LIKE AS ,THE CIRCLE
SUGGESTED INFINITY,THE TRANGLE
SUGGESTED STRUCTURAL UNITY,THE SPIRE
SUGGESTED ASPIRATION…ETC

 ARCHITECTS USE GEOMETRY TO DIVIDE SPACE


WHEN GENERATIG SCHEMAIC DESIGNS.
