Lyle:

Your example is a very good one and quite true. Actually, you can start with the most complex wave equations in a simple system and, when you put zeroes and very tiny numbers which can be effectively "rounded" to zero in most places, most terms disappear or become insignificant and you wind up with OHM's LAW or math almost as simple; you first set it up with, say, sources, resistors, capacitors, inductors, etc., taking all possible factors into account (ie, don't ignore the high frequency characteristics of "wire", "ground", etc.). Then, as you make a series of assumptions (for example, using wave equations to model wire at DC is overkill, to say the least; ohm's law seems to work fairly well!), the equations become simpler until you have ohm's law (if it is a purely resistive circuit) or perhaps a few inegrals and differentials, etc. (if there are reactive components and AC present).

I can't for the life of me, though, recall why we are discussing this? Too long between visits I suppose.

I hate to say anything about DWM; so far, it has spoken "loudly" for itself; the silence is deafening. But, as you say, pretty soon, even if some form of DWM could work, most will say, "who cares?".

regards,

Larry
