Engineering is the art of making what you want from stuff you can

Having said that, I didn't dislike math, I HATED math. I STILL
hate
math the way it is taught. It is just one of those gates that you
have to walk through to get the degree. I *teach* math, and as
God
is my witness, I try and make it something that is real and
understandable.




So you can explain why, if I take the time it takes for something in
my hand to hit th e floor and divide that time ad infinitum, the
thing
still hits the floor?

The difference between physics and engineering.

In Physics it takes forever to fall. In engineering it gets close
enough for engineering purposes.


Fair enough, but I already knew that!

Any idea where I can get some massless ropes and frictionless pullies?
