Abstract: The analytical portion of a modern engineering curriculum rests primarily upon mathematics. Courses in engineering science can only be presented in a logical and rational manner when they are solidly based upon fundamental disciplines. This must be accomplished by presenting the subject matter in as general a format as possible — i.e., not from the point of view of any single engineering area — to provide the student with a broad background which he can later bring to bear upon his more specialized studies. Such comprehensive treatment of subject matter necessarily relies heavily on mathematics, which derives power and utility from its great generality and abstract viewpoint.
