Validation

Engineering Problem Solving Method:
State the problem.
State what you need to find.
Draw a representation of the problem.
Theory: solve the problems using variables.
Assumptions: state your assumptions.
Givens: state what the problem gives you.
Iteration: solve the problem by plugging your values into your theory.
Validation: this equals hell. They expect us to find another way to solve a problem we already have the answer to. This week is the worst! Even after going to office hours to get help from the TA's, it seems like I have no idea how to validate the stupid problem. Even the TA's have a not so great way to validate. It was a completely last ditch effort!
