Agreed, it’s not definitive. The best way to answer this would probably be to round up a bunch of engineers and ask them how much they use math. That would give us a quick average estimate of how today’s engineers use math. Unless you’re interested in specific important discoveries in engineering, in which case it would make more sense to examine the most influential breakthroughs case-by-case.
Doesn’t look like a definitive answer to me, though it does answer somewhat for that particular example.
