A related problem is that so very often existing work involving mathematical notation has what I like to think of as "bogus assumptions" baked in.
This does not mean that they are wrong. This does not mean that they are not useful. This does mean, however, that once I figure out how to express the concepts in J people are sometimes surprised by the simplicity of the concept. But that's not always easy. Currently, I'm trying to work on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Boor%27s_algorithm - this is something that's been bugging me since high school (long before I learned about J). If I can sort out the issues that bother me, it will be fun. Obviously I am not making very rapid progress... -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
