Problems on the back of an envelope
Claims that magnetic fields can be used to manipulate biological systems contradict some basic laws of physics.
متن کاملThe proverbial back of an envelope
Mark D. Gross, Department of Planning and Design, University of Colorado People draw diagrams and sketches to think, argue, and communicate about problems in domains ranging from mechanical engineering to music. To understand a problem better, mathematician George Polya advised, “Draw a figure ... even if your problem is not a problem of geometry.”1 We can debate whether making a figure really ...
متن کاملThe art of back-of-the-envelope paraxial raytracing
Paraxial raytracing is a valuable tool for making quick “back-of-the-envelope” calculations in optical system design. Its popularity has been highly diminished as a consequence of the growing sophistication of computer-aided raytracing and the availability of powerful computers. The availability of raytracing computer programs does not harm in itself the usefulness of graphical raytracing, but ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Strategic Knowledge in Back of the Envelope Reasoning
Back of the envelope (BotE) reasoning involves generating quantitative answers in situations where exact data and models are unavailable and where available data is often incomplete and/or inconsistent. A rough estimate generated quickly is more valuable and useful than a detailed analysis, which might be unnecessary, impractical, or impossible because the situation does not provide enough time...
متن کاملBack of the Envelope Reasoning for Robust Quantitative Problem Solving
Humans routinely answer questions, make decisions, and provide explanations in the face of incomplete knowledge and time constraints. From everyday questions like “What will it cost to take that vacation?” to policy questions like “How can a carbon taxing scheme affect climate change?” we often do not have all the knowledge, time and computational resources to come up with a precise, accurate a...
