The major that i wish to pursue is architecture. Ever since i was very little i loved buildings things. I would always be the first one trying to fix things if they broke or if something had to be put together. The main reason for my love for building and motivation that i have for following this major is my dad.

Architects need to be good with numbers and they must know how to read a ruler or measuring tape. Also architects need to have precise measurements for everything that they do because any little miscalculation can lead to the collapse of a building or house. Math is also used in architecture to analyze and calculate structural problems and the sizes and shapes added to a design is calculated using mathematical formulas. Another class that is needed for architecture is physics. Physics is extremely important to architects as they must understand how certain materials react to the heat and to the cold, how they change over time, and how they are affected by water. Also they need to know how vibrations can affect buildings because if there is ever an earthquake he must make sure that the building isn t just gonna come crumbling down. Physics along with math are the backbone for architecture. Finally the last class that is needed is Art and or design. Architects are use this in order to illustrate the
