Because I want you to build things that don't fall apart because of resonance?
- analog31 7y agoI'm playing devils advocate here, but the argument you'll get is that there's software for that. Also, in a typical department, there may be one or two engineers who handle the quantitative problems for the team. Many engineering students go through their education, having heard from someone, that they won't need their math after they graduate. And things do fall apart.

Don't get me started on engineers who think floating point numbers can be treated like real numbers for equality testing.
