The difference between an Engineer and a Mathematician

An engineer and a mathematician volunteer for a test, they are both led into a large room with nothing but a naked woman at the far end. Both men are told they can do anything they want to the woman but they can only move half the distance closer whenever the tester blows a whistle.

"What's the point? I'll never get to her!" the mathematician says and leaves the room in frustration. The engineer stays but is queried as to why by the tester.

"Sooner or later I'll be close enough for most practical purposes."
