Geometric Arithmetic

Many students take courses they don't enjoy, because they are needed to complete their study major. Your students may moan and groan about having to take geometry and arithmetic, and they may ask questions like: what is the relationship between geometric design and arithmetic in the job market? One of the best ways to teach your students why they must study geometry and arithmetic is to have them research the relationship between the two in many different career fields.

There are many professions that use the principles of geometric arithmetic. As a teacher, you can ask your students to list some jobs in which geometric arithmetic would be used. A common job to employ the use of geometry and arithmetic is the building trade. A builder must be able to measure areas, and understand how to read measurements. A builder must also know how to create angles that are of the right degrees. For instance, if you need to create 45 degree and 90 degree angles in the building trade, you must know how to create them.

Geometric arithmetic is used in many fields. For instance geometry and arithmetic is used in computer graphics, computer aided designs, robotics, medical imaging, structural engineering and many more. You could ask your students to research how geographic arithmetic is used in some of these professions. For instance, one of your students might want to become a robotics engineer. Your student would need to research how a robotic hand can grasp different shaped objects without it dropping or breaking the object. Your student would need a working knowledge of computational geometry and arithmetic to make the necessary calculations.

You may have a student who wants to work in the medical field as a specialist that works with CT scanning machines. The student may want to become a person that designs these machines, or the student may want to become a technician who operates the machines for diagnostic purposes. The people who design CT scanning machines must have knowledge of geometric arithmetic. The CT machine is designed geometrically to scan bones, organs, blood vessels, and the soft tissues of the body and then to recreate the images on highly sophisticated computers. The cross-sectional images are created digitally through the use of applied geometry and arithmetic. When students are asked to research how the subjects they take, such as geometric arithmetic, they learn how important geometric and arithmetic computations are to all different types of careers, such as in robotics, the medical field and other fields, as well.
