<p>What are great math books - that are clear and well written - that can prepare me for Architecture?</p>
<p>Is math really not needed so much or something?</p>
<p>[The</a> Golden Ratio: The Story of PHI, the World’s Most Astonishing Number](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Golden-Ratio-Worlds-Astonishing-Number/dp/0767908163]The”>http://www.amazon.com/Golden-Ratio-Worlds-Astonishing-Number/dp/0767908163)…chapters 3 and 4 get into some nice design-based discussions involving PHI. The book overall makes a lot of references to the arts and design.</p>
<p>So this book will help prepare me to applying the mathematical aspects of architecture and to be prepared for whatever “weedout” courses may come my way?</p>
<p>It depends on where you’re planning on going and what kind of architecture they focus on. A single book on one aspect of architecture isn’t going to prepare you for everything, especially in a field where everything is very theoretical and subjective. </p>
<p>You would probably do better reading a wide variety of architectural related material to expose yourself to as much as possible.</p>
