When I was reading <em>Nutshell</em>, I was shocked at all of the wild symbols used in the math equations. I couldn't have typed these equations out if I wanted to, because I have no idea how I would make most of those symbols appear! It looked like pretty insane stuff. Leave me to my plain ol' algebra, thankyouverymuch. Sariah >> It's been interesting to do this experiment of posting every single day. There have been days already that I have had to force myself to do it because I was tired and wasn't in the mood to write, but I've managed to make it so far. I think it's good for me to do this, because then otherwise I have a tendency to always put things off. :-} Hava Stephanie >> I hear you on the functions thing.

I think it's the math; it rots the brain. Quantum math uses functions I've never seen elsewhere and still have nightmares about. And thanks for the mention.
