Von der hinteren Coverseite

This is a book about engineering. It examines engineering in a broad context, it is to some extent also a book about technology. The activities included are complex and varied, involving mathematics, physical sciences, and other areas of expertise that have evolved their own specialized languages and do not always communicate well, even with one another.
