Abstract

The method is the sum of the ways, strategies, tools, means, and procedures for humans to understand and adapt to the world. The methodology is a theoretical system of how humans understand the world and adapt to the world. Advances in engineering technology depend on methodological innovations, from carriage to space shuttle, from beacon tower to microwave communications, all are the same.
