| May 12, 2011 at 23:37 | comment | added | Yemon Choi | Michael: answering the questions you want to pose is surely something better done on a blog. Redefining the original question to one you can then be righteous about does not strike me as very courteous | |
| May 11, 2011 at 19:04 | comment | added | Michael Hardy | @André: I was not blindly criticizing and I was offering a constructive answer. Maybe you should try that yourself. @Michael Hoffman: At least I was addressing a more important question than what you seem to be saying you intended. | |

I've asked that of many bright undergrad before, and rarely got and answer better than "that's the law" (the commutative law, they mean, which we all abide by except when we do powers). | |

| Jun 15, 2010 at 23:48 | comment | added | Michael Hoffman | I posed the question and asked for a course, not a rant on the substance of mathematics education for non-mathematicians: -1 | |
| Jun 14, 2010 at 20:16 | comment | added | Michael Hardy | So why the negative vote? | |
