this moving-around-of-letters
activity of the past couple of
rambles is, or could and (i hope
someday to convince *some*body)
should be, as foundational
in the study of mathematics as
elementary arithmetic (+, -, *, 1/n) or
compass-and-straightedge constructions.
here is power.
*that*'s what the simplicity is for.
story-of-the-blog-so-far stuff.
last winter when i was blogging
about my math148 precalculus class

<I>notation</I> for, what was one of
the big themes of the course,
<B>transformations</B> of the <I>xy</I>-plane.
ooo. aaah.
