 So far, the word "coercion" has only been used twice in the tutorial -
 without explanation or reference. I believe coercion is far too important
 to not cover it in the tutorial, and moreover some pitfalls may be
 confusing for mathematicians, while programmers might confuse it with
 implicit type conversion.

 My patch adds such section.
