Excerpt from Real Mathematics: Intended Mainly for Practical, Engineers, as an Aid to the Study, and Comprehension of Mathematics

Need for Understanding. - Every normal man desires to understand the things he uses; and if he be required to use an implement which he does not understand, he will use it with more or less suspicion and distrust. In such circumstances, a man feels that he is a mere operator, pressing buttons and pulling levers which may or may not set in motion the machinery which they are supposed to control; and if, after operating satisfactorily ninety nine times, the buttons and levers fail him at the hundredth, it is no more than he expected. Self-respect - that vital necessity to a good engineer - is impossible under such conditions.
