| Abstract: | The author makes the point that engineering practice and the mathematical modelling applied to engineering problems are different and that mathematical solutions that exist for engineering problems are incomprehensible to engineers. Two practical examples are presented to illustrate the point: parameter fitting error estimates and oscillator design. Some insights are offered to help translate between the languages of mathematics and engineering. |
