In summary, engineering relies heavily on mathematical constructs such as calculus, trigonometry, and linear algebra to solve complex problems and design efficient solutions. These concepts are used to analyze and model physical systems, perform calculations for structural design, and optimize processes in various fields of engineering. Additionally, engineers also use statistical analysis and probability theory to assess risks and make informed decisions. Understanding and applying these mathematical concepts is crucial for success in the field of engineering.

Hi, this is Eric from Hong Kong. My background is in engineering but I am very interested in the mathematical constructs/theories behind the scene (not too good in that at the moment, working hard to get better :wink:)
