Just Do the Math
• "1729 is an interesting number." -- Ramanujan
• Master Builders of Antiquity understood Pythagoras
• Master Builders of the Renaissance understood Fermat, but didn't care
• Master Builders of Modernity understand Ellwood, and had better care

Ramanujan's Cubes
1729 = 103 + 93 = 123 + 13

Pythagorean Theorem• a2 + b2 = c2

Pythagorean Theorem
![Page 11: Catholic University of America Fall Lecture Series 1999 Archipreneurs: Embracing Generalization](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e7c5503460f94b7e9e9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Fermat's Last Theorem
• an + bn cn, where n>2
• Wiles
• Tanayama/Shimura
• Iwasawa
![Page 12: Catholic University of America Fall Lecture Series 1999 Archipreneurs: Embracing Generalization](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e7c5503460f94b7e9e9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Ellwood's Mortgage Equity Formula
• r = Y - MC
• R = r + dep 1/Sn
• R = r - app 1/Sn
• Y = annual equity yield
• M = loan to value ratio
• C = mortgage coefficient
• Sn = sinking fund factor for Y,n years
• dep = depreciation as fraction of price or value
• app = appreciation as fraction of price or value

What's Missing at the AIA?
• Embracing the ENTIRE Development Process
• Ellwood's Mortgage Equity Formulas
• Opportunities for Empowerment– Unfinanced ideas remain ideas
– Financed ideas become buildings
– Some buildings become architecture
![Page 22: Catholic University of America Fall Lecture Series 1999 Archipreneurs: Embracing Generalization](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e7c5503460f94b7e9e9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Damn fine textbooks on architects
• Real Estate Development: Strategies for Changing Markets, Stuart M. Saft, Wiley 1990– We are defined along with engineers as "the designers
of improvements and their related facilities."
• Modern Real Estate, Charles H. Wurtzebach & Mike E. Miles, Wiley 1991– "A designer of buildings and supervisor of
construction."

![Page 25: Catholic University of America Fall Lecture Series 1999 Archipreneurs: Embracing Generalization](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e7c5503460f94b7e9e9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

The Developer Dentist
• "Open wide."– -- Cyrus Katzen
• The most successful developers understand the direct correlation between product design quality and profitability.

The Developer Architect?
• For many architects, developing seems either too daunting or too much a departure.
• If a dentist can do this, why can't an architect?

A Mathematician's ApologyI have never done anything 'useful.' No discovery of mine has made, or is likely to make, directly or indirectly, for good or for ill, the least difference to the amenity of the world. I have helped to train other mathematicians, but mathematicians of the same kind as myself, and their work has been, so far atany rate as I have helped them to it, as useless as my own. Judged by all practical standards, the value of my mathematical life is nil; and outside mathematics it is trivial anyhow. I have just one chance of escaping a verdict of complete triviality, that I may be judged to have created something worth creating. And that I have created something is undeniable; the question isabout its value.
The case for my life, then, or for that of any one else who has been a mathematician in the same sense in which I have been one, is this: that I haveadded something to knowledge, and helped others to add more; and that thesesomethings have a value which differs in degree only, and not in kind, fromthat of the creations of other mathematicians, or of any of the other artists,great or small, who have left some kind of memorial behind them.
-- G. H. Hardy
