Mathematical Detail
Settling time depends on the system response and time constant.
The settling time for a 2nd order, underdamped system responding to a step response can be approximated if the damping ratio by
Thus, settling time to within 2% = 0.02 is:

Famous quotes containing the words mathematical and/or detail:
“All science requires mathematics. The knowledge of mathematical things is almost innate in us.... This is the easiest of sciences, a fact which is obvious in that no one’s brain rejects it; for laymen and people who are utterly illiterate know how to count and reckon.”
—Roger Bacon (c. 1214–c. 1294)
“Realism: the wealth of detail guarantees the truth of the tale.”
