Quotes

  • [The process of system design is]... consisting of the development of a sequence of mathematical models of systems, each one more detailed than the last.
  • [The word system is often defined in a way] that seems the most appropriate for the purpose of any given discussion.
  • The problem of the design of a system must be stated strictly in terms of its requirements, not in terms of a solution or a class of solutions.
  • Every author has several motivations for writing, and authors of technical books always have, as one motivation, the personal need to understand; that is, they write because they want to learn, or to understand a phenomenon, or to think through a set of ideas.
  • If all the theories pertinent to systems engineering could be discussed within a common framework by means of a standard set of nomenclature and definitions, many separate courses might not be required.
  • Only if mathematical rigor is adhered to, can systems problems be dealt with effectively, and so it is that the systems engineer must, at least, develop an appreciation for mathematical rigor if not also considerable mathematical competence.
