, "description" is used as a label forequations and processes that are used to describe properties and behaviors exhibited by andwithin mechanical systems. As engineers, we see this regularly because we are exposed to newor emerging technologies and processes. The word "expansion" will be used to mean the additionof mathematical terms or processes to an already existing description. A useful example ofexpansion is the Bernoulli equation. At its heart, the Bernoulli equation is an energy equation.The original equation defined by Bernoulli is only slightly different from the equation we usetoday.
