  1. For this kind of lecture I need something much stronger than beer, I'm afraid... And afterwards I can blame the book for the headache ;-)

  2. Differential calculus always made both of my brain cells hurt. Badly.

    1. Be thankful that at least you have one more brain cell than me when it comes to maths, dear Sue.

  3. Hi ha "problemes" que triguen un munt (més de 300 anys) per a resoldre's... no m'estranya que els humans no ens entenguem. ;-)
    Aferradetes, Sean.

  4. I love the basic maths, add, subtract, multiply, divide, do them in right order, figure out percent, fractions of recipes so they can be halved or doubled, and make change when paying for something. Anything beyond that is above my pay grade so I figure if I can do these basics, I'm doing as well as I can.
