Hi Folks,

I apologize if my breaking things down into very simple concepts has offended anyone. That was not my intent.

Lately I have been reading math books, in particular Euclid's Elements. What is fascinating about the Elements is that Euclid starts with extremely simple concepts (e.g. 2 points make up a line) and from them he builds an incredibly rich body of knowledge.

I am attempting to proceed in a similar fashion: start with extremely simple concepts and gradually build upon them.

/Roger
