Mathematical axioms have ramified over the centuries to create a body of knowledge of extraordinary complexity. But difficulty is not the province of useful information. Nonsense can be couched in riddles just as easily as the good stuff. The ability to absorb only what is useful is a function of wisdom--not intelligence (although from time to time many of us feel tempted to dignify particularly brilliant albeit specious arguments). It can all be summed up in the following adage: a stream cannot rise higher than its source. Regards, Steven Haywood, B.Sc.
