Cornell has published a series of Mathematical Biographies of a number of famous mathematicians. When I do history portions of my classes I have often referred here. It is worth a scroll for your favorites. Check out Krylov for instance.

Subcritical Assembly
Aerospace Verses Mechanical Engineers
Mechanical Engineers use \(y\) as a coordinate axis at the ground pointing towards the sky. Dissimilar, Aerospace Engineers use \(y\) as a coordinate fixed to a flight-vehicle pointing towards the Earth. This is why Mechanical Engineers have their feet on the ground, and Aerospace Engineers have their heads above the clouds.
