Remarks on Some Engineering Methods and Their Limits

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.

Dynamical Systems in Circuit Designer's Eyes

Examples of nonlinear circuit design are given. Focus of the design process is on theory and engineering methods (as opposed to numerical analysis). Modeling is related to measurements It is seen that the phase plane is still very useful with proper models Harmonic balance/describing function offers powerful insight (via the combination of simulation with circuit and ODE theory). Measurement and simulation capabilities increased, especially harmonics measurements (since sinusoids are easy to generate)
