Naah - knot theory is *much* more interesting ;-D

For anyone who cares... I'm 22, and I've never had a "propper" algebra
lesson in my life; the only thing I learned at school (err... or rather, the
only thing I was *taught* at school ;-) as how to add and subtract, etc. As
far as "real maths" goes, what can I say? Libraries are beautiful things 8-D

I know a little differential calculus... I never really did get my head
round the notation used for integral calculus... I know roughly what a
derrivative is, but I have no idea what a "differential equation" is.
(Although I'm always hearing about them!) I didn't really read Micha's post
other than skimming through it and observing that the final result "seems"
to make good sense. I was going to read through again offline later - but I
ain't got round to it yet ;-)

Andrew.

PS. I _still_ don't know my times tables... THIS IS WHY COMPUTERS WERE
INVENTED 8^)
