MATHEMATICAL AND NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF THE HERITAGE ARCHITECTURES OF CHEIKH ANTA DIOP UNIVERSITY

This study explores the integration of educational technologies into STEAM education through the mathematical modeling of historical architectures at Cheikh Anta Diop University of Dakar (UCAD). The approach combines history, culture, mathematics, and engineering by linking real-world experience with digital tools, such as GeoGebra and augmented reality, to analyze the Central Library and the main gate of the pedagogical campus.The project highlights the presence of geometric principles in the design of these buildings, illustrating how simple forms and proportionsparticularly the Fibonacci spiralstructure the architecture. The pedagogical activities enable students to decompose structures into polygons, apply mathematical rules, and integrate their knowledge into the modeling process.
