I had the opposite reaction. Math department: “oh, look, we are very clever, see these pretty plots the differential equations generate and all the beautiful closed form solution we can make” Me: “Hmm, very nice, I am not smart enough for this.” Engineering department: “Complicated equation bad, smash with Taylor series, little part go bye-bye, big part is smooth.” Me: “Yes this equation will match my brain nicely.”
