Abstract: Abstract If you go up to a conventional engineer—someone who designs bridges or aeroplanes or concert halls or communication systems—and ask her what mathematical theorems she uses as part of the design process, you will, with probability 1, get a long list. For instance, a communications engineer might start with the sampling theorem of Shannon and Nyquist: to reconstruct a band limited signal from samples, it is necessary to sample at least at twice the highest frequency.
