Design & Mathematics

Mathematics makes designs become reality. Most noteably you can see this through the designs of Frank Gehry.

Without mathematics these designs wouldn't be able to come to life. Thankfully we have math and these sketches from Gehry become buildings like this.

These buildings only stand up because of steel and really good math. Even though mathematics isn't my favorite thing in the world. I realize that we would not have design without it.
