Anything I can't explain in a way you can understand the basic idea is probably something I don't understand well enough to explain better. One of my math heros, Leonid Euler, once apoligized for a long explanation by adding that he could have explained it more briefly if only he had more time. Perhaps that only makes sense to math teachers who have too little time to explain and too much material to cover. Looking forward to your visit
I love it when I totally get one of your blogs. OK, this one may not make me feel intellectual, but it does please me to understand.
