I do not have enough relevant background to form any meaningful questions for him, at this point, but in the context of computer programming I am not convinced that operations on linear maps (which may involve some uncountable infinities) are necessarily simpler than operations on numbers -- at least not in the general case. (But they might very well be simpler for the cases he is treating.) -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
