The Art of Insight in Science and Engineering
Sanjoy Mahajan
To master complexity, we can
organize it or discard it. The Art of Insight in Science and Engineering first
teaches the tools for organizing complexity, then distinguishes the two paths
for discarding complexity: with and without loss of information. Questions and
problems throughout the text help readers master and apply these groups of
tools. Armed with this three-part toolchest, and without complicated
mathematics, readers can estimate the flight range of birds and planes and the
strength of chemical bonds, understand the physics of pianos and xylophones,
and explain why skies are blue and sunsets are red.
