The approach of this research paper is to come up with findings on importance of mathematics in ancient architectures and magnificent bridges, as in geometry, from very important site analysis to final design as well as giving readers, especially people outside the construction industry a simple idea of how mathematical knowledge have been related to architectural design and construction. ....
