Reduced Complexity: The Essence of a Complex Journey Involving Language, Mathematics, and Emotions
The development of Reduced-Order Models has provided significant insights into our engineering and mathematical nomenclature and terminology (language). The path towards obtaining reduced complexity is not linear nor is it simple, usually involving just the right blending of various concepts and technologies (mathematics). As with any challenging development, one must also be prepared to address challenges involving prior art, dedication, and resistance to change (emotions). This presentation seeks to distill the essence of this process to enable continued growth and development in our beloved fields of engineering.
