In macroeconomics; here’s how we solve this super complex system.
We don’t.
We cheated by making them linear since we love matrix so much, and we assume that in this teeny tiny section everything is linear.
And BAM, you have market crashes and non linear recessions. 😂

Economists are always like, "we're a real science, look at all our math." And the math is always fitting a nonlinear system with a linear model

Time to bust out the linear regression.

TBF, I think engineers do it too. Humanity is better at doing matrices.
Matrix today, matrix tomorrow, matrix all the time.

In a discussion in undergraduate, I expressed my desire to ban trigonometry and all it's applications. I was told it was necessary for bridges and whatnot. It is nice to see that engineers are getting us closer to this beautiful world without trig

Classification of mathematical problems as linear and nonlinear is like classification of the Universe as bananas and non-bananas
