14 Modelling I hope I shall shock a few people in asserting that the most important single task of mathematical instruction in the secondary school is to teach the setting up of equations to solve word problems. [...] And so the future engineer, when he learns in the secondary school to set up equations to solve word problems" has a first taste of, and has an opportunity to acquire the attitude essential to, his principal professional use of mathematics.

64 Elastic pendulum I first noticed the mode coupling in the swinging pendulum when I was a Teaching Assistant as a graduate student when (by chance) a student could not make the lab experiment work. This classical experiment, as you know, first measures the spring constant and then predicts the period. After stewing about this for a while I was able to work it out.
