> The connection is of course made in the parallel calculus-based physics class she is taking... The physicists as always (a) are pragmatically out-front but (b) don't worry about whether their tools are internally sound so long as they make useful predictions. Sounds about right. It is important for the aforementioned daughter to know this cultural difference between physicists and mathematicians if she is to be a good engineer. I believe this can only be learned firsthand if it is to be appreciated.
