Why is Estimation Important?
Proper Estimation comes with experience
in a certain field. Estimation can be used to verify the achieved
solution be assuring the problem solver that their solution is within
the ballpark of an actual legitimate solution.
It is helpful to have a general estimation of certain
geometric formulas and how to apply them to engineering problems
along with many other general relationships.
