Professor A. Wayne Wymore has, over the last 30 years at the University of Arizona, developed the Tricotyledon Theory of System Design. Wymore uses a set theoretic basis for modeling the various aspects of a system. This approach is powerful and can be used on a much wider range of systems than previous tools. In this lecture I will introduce this notation and show its use in specifying feasible system designs.

This workshop takes three hours. It suitable for all engineers and scientists. It requires a chalk board and an overhead projector.
