But over time, people got used to the ideas, and nowadays we understand that it's actually very helpful to think in this way." Though to be completely honest I doubt most people care what Al-Khuwarizmi thought. You might be better off being enthusiastic about how cool and interesting it is that the same method works in a seemingly different situation, revealing that actually, the situation is not so different after all. | |

Is it not much sensible to rearrange the equation as shown in the extension of my clarification ? | |
