Essay on why math is important in engineering.

Im not sure if this is the right place to post this question. That being said feel free to move if in fact this is the wrong place.

I need to write an essay on mathematics in engineering and the importance of math in engineering. I need help finding website/articles/books/anything in realtion to this topic. I have a pretty good idea of why its important, but i need to have two different sources used in my paper. So if someone could point me in the direction of some good info, it would be much appreciated.

Which bridge would you rather drive over, one for which the maximum load has been carefully calculated with a safety factor thrown in or one for which the maximum load has been arrived by reading tea leaves?

Engineering is applied science/physics, and in applied or pure physics, we like to quantify things, either properties or behavior, which change over time. We live in a dynamic world in which things move about, and we like to know how things move about and the consequences of things moving about. Answering these questions requires some level of mathematical treatment.
