For Architecture Majors ...
We probably don’t need to tell you
that Cal Poly is one of the best architecture schools in the
country. Congratulations – you made a good choice!
But now comes the downside: it’s ranked so high because
the architecture curriculum is really tough. Since you
are visiting our website, we assume you have already discovered
that one of the toughest parts is calculus. Cal Poly
requires its architecture students to have an unusually strong
background in physics and architectural engineering, and all
of these courses are calculus-based. We’ve tutored
many architecture majors over the years, and if you’re
like most of them, calculus will be your biggest challenge
at Poly. After all, you’re an artist, not an engineer,
but in order to get an architecture degree from Cal Poly you
need to be a little of both.
 We
want you to know that we tutor our architecture students with
the specific needs of your major in mind. We are quite
familiar with the physics and architectural engineering courses
you’ll eventually be taking, and we explain the math
in a way that will enable you to excel in these other classes
as well. Of course, our main priority is the GRADE for
the math class you’re in NOW. But while we’re
showing you definitive procedures for working through all
the math problems, we’ll be presenting the concepts
in a way that will prepare you for the physics and architectural
engineering courses you’ll take later. Many of
the examples we’ll use to illustrate concepts in your
math class will be taken directly from architectural engineering
applications. We’ll teach you specific problem-solving
techniques that can be applied not only to math problems,
but to your other classes as well. We’ll show
you how calculus relates to architectural concepts in the
real world.
In other words, although you have our commitment
that our main focus will definitely be the grade in your current
math course, we’re also going to make sure that when
it comes time to USE calculus in your physics and architectural
engineering courses, you will know exactly what to do.
We guarantee it.
