👉 Crash math, or crash theory, is a branch of mathematics that deals with the study of systems that are highly unstable and prone to catastrophic failures, often under extreme conditions. It focuses on understanding the behavior of these systems when subjected to sudden or extreme perturbations, such as impacts, shocks, or other abrupt changes. The core idea is to predict and analyze the conditions under which a system will fail catastrophically, typically by examining the stability of equilibrium points and the nature of the perturbations around them. This involves tools from differential equations, dynamical systems, and bifurcation theory to model and predict the onset of failure, helping engineers design safer structures and systems by identifying and mitigating potential weak points before they lead to disaster.
