Richard Hamming, author of The Art of Doing Science and Engineering: Learning to Learn.

Richard Hamming has a cool book.The Art of Doing Science and Engineering: Learning to Learn". I learned about her from a great articles Translation of the chapter on system engineering If you summarize the entire article, you get a definition: Systems engineering is the attempt to always keep the main goals in mind and understand why each local action is performed and how it affects the overall result. The Three Laws of Systems Engineering (straight 3 The Law of Robotics:))

1. If components are optimized, system performance is likely to be compromised.
2. Part of systems engineering design is preparing for changes to get through them successfully and not reduce the performance of other parts.
3. The more accurately you meet the specifications, the worse performance will be when overloaded.

And the bottom line: Systems engineering is certainly a fascinating profession that is difficult to practice. There is a great need for real systems engineers, just as there is a need to get rid of those who just tell a good story without being able to play the game effectively.

P.S. I ordered a book in the original:)
