Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 20, Problem 20.4E
Explanation of Solution
Reductionism in engineering:
Reductionism is a philosophical position that a complex system is nothing but the sum of its parts using complete analysis of system evaluation process. An account of the complex system can be reduced to accounts of individual constituents. It is a continuous process with a fundamental approach.
Reductionism is effective for many kinds of engineering because of the following ways:
- Reductionism is a better way to create the one-to-many parts of system and to decompose the problems...
