    Before you take a calculated risk, should you check that you are good with maths?

      That depends _total_ly upon a number of factors. Sum good ones, others making no difference. Depends, mainly upon the final product you're looking for.

            I can see we're divided on the issue, and I take this as a sine. As such, I had to look up Euler's number to see if he could help Laplace transform this mess in time before we go off on tangents.

                      I don't mean to sound derivative, but that way of thinking is integral to becoming more knowledgeable.
