    You engineers. We all know how it works. If a mathematician is asked to find the volume of a little red ball he will measure the diameter and use the appropriate formula to calculate it. If a physicist wants to find the volume of a little red ball he will submerge it in a graduated cylinder three times and take the average of the three measurements. When an engineer wants to find the volume of a little red ball he goes to his bookshelf and grabs the Engineer's Handbook of Little Red Balls and looks it up.

    You may be right, but when a mathematician discovers something great he will take it to his physicist friend and they will stare at it together and say "wow, oh hey do you wanna go look at that other thing now?" while and engineer will change the world with it ;)

    All Joking aside, everyone's jobs are need together, without math and science guys engineers wouldnt have the formulas to make things, and without the technology engineers design math and science guys would have their hands tied in the 1950's. Its all part of the nerd circle of life :rock:

    My man! You're speaking my language now, and the portion I bolded is complete truth!

    Funny thing is I work with a guy that switched from the EE program to Civil because he said it was easier. :poke:
