Analytical method

The analytical method was a slight variation to the simplified method, adding only a couple equations for when the structure is irregular. Still much of the work is in interpreting charts. I'm somewhat baffled by how simple the procedures have been so far. Its interesting just how much is accomplished by technology these days, especially when you consider how much MORE will be accomplished by technology on a day to day basis fifty years from now. I'm not entirely sure if I want to claim that this will result in an enormous decrease in overall human understanding. If history has been an example the loss of a previously manual labor has always benefited the human experience, thinking of the printing press. However, it certainly is stunning how much is learned and how much becomes obsolete by the time you learn it.
