+In general, when modeling phenomena in science and engineering, we
+begin with simplified, incomplete models. As we examine things in
+greater detail, these simple models become inadequate and must be
+replaced by more refined models.

+
+If the interpreter uses *applicative order* to evaluate the
+expression:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC scheme
+(test 0 (p))
+#+END_SRC
+
+The parameters are evaluated before applying the compound procedure
+~test~; 0 evaluates to 0, ~(p)~ never finishes evaluating as the
+compound procedure ~p~ recursively calls itself again and again
+infinitely.
+
+If same expression is evaluated by the interpreter using *normal
+order*, the expression will be expanded to
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC scheme
+  (if (= 0 0)
+      0
+      (p)))
+#+END_SRC
+
+and will evaluate to ~0~.
