Yeah, I keep getting much that impression. Joel Send a noteboard - 26/05/2010 09:07:41 AM
but honestly, you should have at least a couple semesters' worth of mathematical proofs and logic to get some benefit from reading it. i had the background when i took the class the book is from and i had to drop it because i didn't have enough math proofs background to succeed. :[ it's incredibly interesting stuff, but you should work your way up to it, imho.

Hence the intimidation factor. And I don't have the disposable time I once did (for which this board may be very grateful.... ;))

I Kinda Figured, but Why Does 7 Conflict with Base 10 So Much? Joel - 25/05/2010 02:27:51 AM 478 Views
Number theory holds a concept called "cyclic numbers." Dreaded Anomaly - 25/05/2010 06:04:43 AM 540 Views

Number THEORY is great fun, but too many folks make math too tedious, I'm afraid. Joel - 25/05/2010 09:53:21 AM 386 Views
You tend to get cyclic repeats when dividing by primes Isaac - 25/05/2010 11:58:34 AM 565 Views
I actually DO feel like taking a course on number theory. Joel - 25/05/2010 12:12:10 PM 523 Views
