<p>I am interested in architecture but i really don't like math. I'm an artisitic person and i like to work with my hands and put things together. I think i might have some talent for architecutre but math is really unenjoyable and hard. How important is math in a college program? How important is it in an actual architecture job? I will have completed precalculus when i finish high school.</p>
<p>Well unless you want to become an architectural engineer, I dont really think architects use hard math. They more use math to like for example measure a room. You also have to know how to convert measurements especially when you are designing a model.</p>
<p>So I think that you would be great. Maybe you should research more information on the job. I was kind of hesitant about it, but when I went to Drexel’s summer program for architecture, I knew architecture was the thing for me.</p>
<p>Good Luck :]</p>
<p>In real life you should be strong in algebra and geometry, but I have never seen an architect use calculus in their job.</p>

<p>As an architect, I’ve never used calculus in my work. However, understanding how math works, being able to calculate and estimated deflection of a beam, and understanding the principals of structure are very important. However, it’s mostly algebra. </p>
<p>That being said, you will have to take calculus in school, as well as structures. Just get through it.</p>
<p>you need to know basic math. can you do algebra? geometry? finding the area? measuring? multiplying and dividing [when it comes to scaling]? a lot of programs require that you take math in college, which is typically calculus. i took ap calc in high school and did well on the exam, allowing me to place out of it. the only REAL instance where you need math in architecture school is during structures, but its really jsut using the formulas they give you and algebra to figure everything out.</p>
<p>if it makes you feel any better, i havent done any sort of hard math since high school.</p>
