Lyle, I wish I could see math like that, you have no idea, I would give
anything to be able to, I am trying like hell to overcome my math blocks, I
am one of those "poor dears" who never got encouraged in math (and I can do
it when i do audio engineering and write musical arrangements, so I know it
is not hopeless) Howeever, I am working hard (no, I havent gotten TB from it
to date) to go back and learn, I am doingit, not just for applied uses, but
to understand the beauty and power of math. It is my dream, and the way you
speak of it really enhances my desire to know it.
The thing you describe above almost makes me want to cry, it sounds so
magnificence, but then there are those who say words shouldn't bring
emotion....
