“Consequences of Approximations in Science and Engineering”

Abstract:

All of us approximate. Engineering and science are full of approximations. When we approximate, adequately, we reach our goals. Improper approximations can be disastrous and can have tragic consequences depending on the context they are made. In this talk, I will illustrate, with simple examples both adequate as well as inadequate approximations and their consequences. These consequences can be life-threatening, in certain contexts
