  1. From the Concrete to the Abstract and Back Jeff Goodman goodmanjm@appstate.edu

  2. Why does math matter?

  3. Solve for X: X2+81=126

  4. What information is necessary to define these shapes?

  5. What’s the best way to define these curves?

  6. What math is behind a set of stairs?

  7. For stairs to be comfortable, they should be proportioned by the formula: 2 x (riser height) + (tread length) = between 24 and 26 inches

  8. RISERS

  9. RISERS With 10 more rises on the straightaway, I would have 13 rises total.

  10. RISERS 102.75/ 13 = 7.9

  11. TREADS I had 8 feet of floor space to put in 10 stairs on the straight run

  12. TREADS So the tread for each stair would be: 96 inches 8 feet / 10 = 9.6 inches per stair

  13. How did I do with the formula for comfort? 2 x (riser height) + (tread length) = between 24 and 26 inches Risers = 7.9 inches Treads = 9.6 inches (2 x 7.9) + 9.6 = 25.4
