Applied Mathematics
The National Institute for Zorig Chusum (NIZC), where tradition and technique meet, Applied Mathematics plays a vital role in enhancing the technical competence of trainees across the thirteen traditional arts and crafts. Recognizing that precision is essential in disciplines such as painting, wood carving, architecture, and sculpture, the Applied Mathematics course is designed to equip students with practical mathematical knowledge relevant to their vocational training.
Rather than focusing on abstract theory, the course emphasizes real-world application of mathematical principles to support accurate measurement, proportion, scale, and construction—fundamental elements in the practice of traditional Bhutanese craftsmanship.
Key Objectives:
- To develop numeracy skills that are directly applicable to craftwork.
- To build the ability to calculate dimensions, angles, ratios, and materials accurately.
- To support understanding of geometric patterns, symmetry, and scale used in design and layout.
- To promote logical thinking and problem-solving in the planning and execution of artworks and structures.
