  8. Interview Responses By the Interviewees

  9. Sarah Roarty • How does your job involve geometry? •      I need to measure sizes of documents and the framework for websites so everything fits together properly. • What kind of background is needed for this occupation? (ex. math major) •      I was a graphic design major in school with a lot of coursework in design, business, information architecture, and lots of hands on experience in internships. • What types of everyday problems related to math do you encounter? •      As stated above. I also need to count my change to make sure I have enough cash to get something from the vending machine :) (M&Ms anyone?) • What technology do you use? •      Does it relate to geometry in any way? I use many design programs including The Adobe Suite and some other web design programs. Yes these all use geometry when making shapes for various objects I am drawing. • How do you need to know math to succeed in your position? •      You need it to make sure everything is aligned right and pretty. I like when things are in order :)

  10. What type of math do you use most throughout your job? (ex. plane geometry, trigonometry, algebra) • ummmm regular math? • How would you persuade a young person to become interested in your workforce? •      I would have them come to my office and see what type of cool work I get to do! • Is your job more of an artistic style or mathematical style? •      Artistic, but also needing other skills in order to succeed. I need to be organized with excellent communication and analytical skills. • What education and preparation is needed to obtain this occupation? •      As said before, but I went to the THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN! • What personal relationship do you have with geometry? •      I love it and pet it. Some times it loves me back.

  11. Mike Roarty • How does your job involve geometry? •      My job is construction so everything we build is made up of things of • different sizes and shapes. We need to make them fit together! • What kind of background is needed for this occupation? (ex. math major) • I have a degree in Civil Engineering. This helps me to understand how • things we build are designed and how they fit together. It also helps to understand • the business aspects of the industry. • What types of everyday problems related to math do you encounter? •      We estimate the size of the project and the cost of the work. We have • to survey the site to layout the work. We have to order material, pay invoices and • bill the owner for our work. • What technology do you use? Does it relate to geometry in any way? •      We use several technologies. We use computers for most of our calculations • with spreadsheets and databases. We also us "digitizers" which measure components • of our work such as earthwork, concrete, carpentry, etc., We also survey the property • and layout the building corners so the building, road or what ever we build is in the • right spot. Computer Aided Design (CAD) drawings are also used by designers to "draw" the buildings. With the latest technology, Building Information Modeling (BIM), CAD becomes a 3D model. We are now just learning to use this on projects and take advantage • of this technology.

  12. How do you need to know math to succeed in your position? •      Math is a part of everything we do in construction. • What type of math do you use most throughout your job? (ex. plane geometry, trigonometry, algebra) •      We use geometry to calculate volumes and areas. Trigonometry is use to • survey and layout our work. We use algebra to calculate our estimates, do accounting • and schedule our work. • How would you persuade a young person to become interested in your workforce? •      We try to demonstrate the fun, challenge and reward of our work. Since we • build custom projects, every day is different and we use a variety of skills and at the end • of the job, we have built something new! • Is your job more of an artistic style or mathematical style? •      Both!!! • What education and preparation is needed to obtain this occupation? •      Engineering or Architecture • What personal relationship do you have with geometry? •      I can't live without it!

  13. Keith Overstreet • How does your job involve geometry? • What kind of background is needed for this occupation? (ex. math major) •      Software interface are moving from two-dimensional screens of fields and text to three dimensional interfaces that provide perspective and a more interactive experience. The development of a three dimensional interface is full of polygons, shading, and shapes that require all types of geometry and trigonometry. • What types of everyday problems related to math do you encounter? •      Depending upon the type of software to be developed, a math major can be an absolute requirement. A computer science major includes a large number of math classes. • What technology do you use? Does it relate to geometry in any way? •      Gas mileage. • How do you need to know math to succeed in your position? •      Computers and software development tools. The tools themselves are not strongly related to geometry; it’s what you do with them. •      The performance of software algorithms and data structures for handling data are all measured by math. For example, sorting algorithms are measure by mathematical formulas. What type of math do you use most throughout your job? (ex. plane geometry, trigonometry, algebra)

  14. How would you persuade a young person to become interested in your workforce? •      Algebra (and binary) math is most common in software languages. • Is your job more of an artistic style or mathematical style? •      Software development is a cross between art and science. It has room for creative user interface screens and beautiful algorithms. If you like the mix of science and art, you can become consumed by the work in software engineering. Just ask the scores of mathematicians working at Google. •      It is both at all times. That’s what makes it interesting. What education and preparation is needed to obtain this occupation? • What personal relationship do you have with geometry? •      B.S. in either math or computer science. M.S in math or computer science for advanced work. •      How much ice cream can you fit in a typical cone?

  15. Joe Kallis • How does your job involve geometry? •   Teaching engineering drawing involves the teaching of descriptive • geometry projection. • What kind of background is needed for this occupation? (example - math major) •      Technology Education and math • What types of everyday problems related to math do you encounter? •   Calculating slope, determining tangent points, pitch, vectors, c²=a²+b² • and much more. • What technology do you use? Does it relate to geometry in any way? •   AutoCAD and Inventor (parametric modeling).  These two software • packages have various math components in the software language. • How do you need to know math to succeed in your position? •   Without knowing math I would have a difficult time in solving and • relating the information to my students in class.

  16. What type of math do you use most throughout your job? (ex. plane geometry, trigonometry, algebra) • Geometry and descriptive geometry projection • P.S. I love the foil method for algebra • How would you persuade a young person to become interested in your workforce? • Give examples of the many problems an engineer will solve and show some • of the engineering feast that have been developed. • Is your job more of an artistic style or mathematical style? • Both, I teach engineering drawing and graphic design. • What education and preparation is needed to obtain this occupation? • Bachelor of Science and Technology Education • What personal relationship do you have with geometry? •   The closest relationship to math that I had ......my mother was an • accountant for a newspaper company.

  17. Math Problems Because everyone needs a little math!

  18. For Mr. Kallis Redraw the following drawing in AutoCAD, using the isometric view. Step 3: Using dimension tool, check all lengths for correct measurements. 9’ Step 1: Draw your starting point. Step 4: Print! Step 2: Using line tool, begin drawing using correct dimensions. Made in Google Sketch Up

  19. For Mr. Overstreet Infoshape Software Rearrange the following objects to make a symmetric logo that is astatically pleasing.

  20. For Mr. Overstreet Formal Informal Subjective All about symmetry! Infoshape Software

  21. For Mr. Roarty In a prism shaped foundation for a building the length is 40 ft. by the width of 50 ft. and the height of 20 ft. The foundation is filled with concrete that costs $2 per square foot. Find the cost of the foundation. 20 ft 50 ft 40 ft

  22. For Mr. Roarty V= lwh V= (20)(40)(50) V= 40,000 ft³ 40,000 x 2= 80,000 $80,000
