some people actually think math is more important than engineering

Robin you are wasting your time in trying to correct Benschop. You
should laugh at him and not correct him. Benschop is so daft. How
daft is he? He is so daft that he thinks mathematics is more prestigious
and more important than EE, and has abandoned EE to
do some mathematics. That is like a soccer star abandoning world
cup soccer to play tiddly winks.

No, that is not so. I think discrete math has some useful principles
and methods that are very useful, but are not used for EE purposes,
in the area of digital network design (re: FSM synthesis)

No, I did not. Actually I'm in the middle of a project to work_out
and develop finite associative algebra (= transformation semigroups)
as an extension of Boolean algebra (assoc, commutative, idempotent)
and of arithmetic (assoc., commut've) for synthesis purposes of
digital networks. If that is not engineering, than I don't know.
My sci.math exploits only touch a small (arithmetic) corner of
that, in order to learn a bit more. That's all, Archie.
These discrete math principles are already some 75 years old
(Sushkewitch, 1928: the detailed structure of finite simple sgrps,
almost as old as Boolean algebra, 1854, when Shannon in 1938
'discovered' it as useful for modelling binary combinational ccts).
You can do one thing, and not forget the other, really!
(in Dutch: "Het ene doen, en het andere niet laten";-)
It seems you are stuck at physics, and even have the
illusion to create new math principles that way. Strange...

I agree with your comparing EE with 'world cup soccer',
but not your comparison of mathematics with 'tiddly winks'.
I'd rather - as a world cup soccer player - compare math with
training in the gym, to keep in condition to stay on top...
(you, on the other hand, despise that which you do not understand,
which is a typical response of the weak, sorry to say;-(

It's tiddlywinks, one word, AP.
Personally, I'd rather be playing tiddlywinks at an international level
than soccer at the same level. Then again it appears I am 21st in the
world according to the current world rantings:

So show some respect in the future for the noble game of skill and
power, please.
