This is a description of the Scmutils system, an integrated library of procedures, embedded in the programming language Scheme, and intended to support teaching and research in mathematical physics and electrical engineering. Scmutils and Scheme are particularly effective in work where the almost-functional nature of Scheme is advantageous, such as classical mechanics, where many of the procedures are most easily formulated as quite abstract manipulations of functions.

An approach that promised to democratize design may have done the opposite.
