From antiquity, siege engines were constructed largely of wood and tended to use mechanical advantage to fling stones and similar missiles.

He had chosen to study mathematics at Cambridge because, in his own words in his 1868 application for the professorship, " From my earliest recollection I have had an irresistible liking for mechanics and the physical laws on which mechanics as a science is based .... my attention drawn to various mechanical phenomena, for the explanation of which I discovered that a knowledge of mathematics was essential.

From a mechanical point of view, scientists were able to manipulate the compound in such a way that it could be used in place of cooking oils in the preparation of many types of food.

From 1970 – 74, he was an engineering apprentice, then a mechanical engineer from 1974 – 83.

From 1937, when the infant BBC television service chose it above Baird's mechanical system, total electronic picture scanning, based on the work of Manfred von Ardenne and the iconoscope invented by Vladimir Zworykin, became increasingly prevalent and Nipkow's invention was no longer essential to further development of television.

From this, a greater mechanical efficiency and working life are claimed.

From a maintenance point of view, the most important part of the mechanical clocks was to ensure that they were well oiled to minimise wear on the cams and to replace blown bulbs in the optical pickups from the glass disk recordings.

From 1992 to 1995 he was also an adjunct assistant professor in the Mechanical Engineering & Material Sciences Department at Rice University, where he taught feedback control of mechanical systems.

From the Boltzmann factor it is possible to derive the Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics, Bose-Einstein statistics, and Fermi-Dirac statistics that govern classical particles as well as quantum mechanical bosons, and fermions, respectively.

From an economics viewpoint, there is a clear trade-off between cost per copy and cost of the printer.

From the viewpoint of the ancient Greeks, a person's public life was not separated from their private life, and Greeks did not distinguish between the two worlds according to the modern western conception.

From the modern viewpoint, there is essentially only one Euclidean space of each dimension.

From a mathematical viewpoint, continuous-time IIR LTI filters may be described in terms of linear differential equations, and their impulse responses considered as Green's functions of the equation.

From the viewpoint of European history the Guinea Coast is associated mainly with slavery.

From a metanarrative viewpoint, Tolkien's Arda is itself a subcreation designed to honour the true stories of the real world.

From that viewpoint, she is seen as one who betrayed the indigenous people by siding with the Spaniards.

From the viewpoint of any single unaccelerated observer, mass can neither be created or destroyed, and special relativity does not change this understanding.

From this viewpoint, the A-law and μ-law algorithms ( G. 711 ) used in traditional PCM digital telephony can be seen as a very early precursor of speech encoding, requiring only 8 bits per sample but giving effectively 12 bits of resolution.

From a purely mathematical viewpoint, the Dirac delta is not strictly a function, because any extended-real function that is equal to zero everywhere but a single point must have total integral zero.

From the program developer's viewpoint, this constitutes the routine caller's portion of the contract.

From a viewpoint in the LMC, the Milky Way would be a spectacular sight.

From a philosophical viewpoint, this theory of matter-waves has contributed greatly to the ruin of the atomism of the past.

From Hitler's viewpoint, it was better to wait until the Z Plan was complete before going to war with the United States.

From this viewpoint, the null space of A is the same as the solution set to the homogeneous system.

From the viewpoint of the investor, however, the Dutch Auction would be more effective at price discovery, and potentially result in a lower offering price.

From this viewpoint there are no distances, but collinearity and ratios of distances on any line are preserved.

From the viewpoint of the ancient Chinese, the Purple Forbidden Enclosure lies in the middle of the sky and is circled by all the other stars.

From this viewpoint, Richard's paradox results from treating a construction in the metatheory ( the enumeration of all statements in the original system that define real numbers ) as if that construction could be conducted in the original system.

From a predicative viewpoint it is not valid to quantify over all real numbers in the process of generating a new real number, because this is believed to lead to a vicious-circle problem in the definitions.

From a spot near the western cliffs of the headland he saw "... the grandest and most pleasing prospects which my eyes ever surveyed, in front of a boundless Ocean ..." That viewpoint, later dubbed " Clark's Point of View ," can be accessed by a hiking trail from Indian Beach in Ecola State Park.
