Organisation and examination

Teaching in the first semester, review in January

Schedule

Schedule online

Units courses prerequisite and corequisite

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Learning unit contents

Architectural Geometry 2D specific curves, 3D (volumes, regulated surfaces, polyhedrons, ...). Links to architectural design.
Geometry : relative positions of lines and planes, length and curvature of curve. Links with sketchup
Tools : Partial derivatives and matrix calculus

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

In the same spirit as for the 1st Bachelor's course, we will primarily develop practical exercises which will constitute the application of the analysis in relation to multiple variable functions. 
In a second step, we develop the geometrical part of mathematics. We generalize the sketches of curves and surfaces in 3D. Numerous examples are chosen to illustrate the course (software, architectural pictures, ...). We also discuss the geometry, representations of lines and planes and search length or curvature of curves.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

Mathematique 1 : analysis, trigo, ... Graphics and thought processes

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Each week, 2 hours of lessons in the auditorium. During these sessions theory and exercises are given in an alternative way. These sessions are also supervised by a student instructor of the master's degree in mathematics or engineering.
All the course presentations are present on Ecampus. They are accompanied by a graphic syllabus showing week by week the subjects and the exercises carried out together.
 

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

  face-to-face

Recommended or required readings

Syllabus available. One for theory and exercises, the other for architectural geometry.
They are available on Ecampus and printed via les presses universitaires.

Assessment methods and criteria
