It's kind of humbling to know that I can't understand any of that. I barely passed mathematics in British high school - but for some reason took to quadratic equations and other slightly more advanced maths in college, I enjoyed it back then - but simply cannot read nor understand just about all of the topics in that thread.

I'd have to look up what the "/" in "M/L" means in the 5th reply (I didn't)

There are so many _symbols_ used in mathematics. It's all as if they're spells written by wizened greybeard wizards and passed down to apprentices throughout the centuries.
