| Feature | Why It Matters | | :--- | :--- | | | Shows the derivation, not just the final equation. | | Unit analysis | Verifies dimensional consistency—critical in real design. | | Error propagation tables | Demonstrates how sensor tolerances stack up in a system. | | Code snippets (Python/MATLAB) | Solves iterative problems (e.g., curve fitting, FFT analysis). | | Real-world design notes | Explains if a solution is theoretically perfect but practically impossible. | | Cross-references to modern sensors | Updates 1990s-era examples (e.g., replacement of LVDTs with MEMS accelerometers). |
