Illustrate the wide-ranging uses of calculus within different construction disciplines by solving problems of differential and integral calculus.
Assignment - Assisting with Construction Mathematical problems
You are required to submit a report in four sections - each related to the four tasks set out below.
Your submission will look a little more like a mathematics workbook rather than a formal report. The selection of font face, font size and line- spacing are left to your discretion but you should keep in mind the importance of clarity and readability in professional documents. You are encouraged to use drawings, images, graphics, and charts to support your report and presentation. Any material that is derived from other sources must be suitably referenced using a standard citation format.
Learning Outcome 1: Use analytical and computational methods to solve construction related problems
Learning Outcome 2: Investigate applications of statistical techniques to interpret, organise and present data by using appropriate computer software packages
Learning Outcome 3: Illustrate the wide-ranging uses of calculus within different construction disciplines by solving problems of differential and integral calculus
Learning Outcome 4: Use mathematical methods to solve vector analysis, arithmetic progression and dimensional analysis examples.
Scenario
You have been contracted as a mathematical consultant to work with a large building development consortium. They employ a range of trades people who are constantly dealing with converting from metric to imperial and vice versa. You are also contracted to solve and confirm a number of complex mathematical problems/solutions for projects on a regular basis from the different departments within the firm. There are a range of scenarios and tasks below - work through them and present your answers in a report of four sections related to each task.v
