Dear Sterling:

Assume I spend some time and write down you the solution, what are you going to do with it? Plot, just wonder at the expression?

I know a 75 year old person who has recently dusted his old books and began reading them - just to keep his gray matter active. The last I heard he was mastering a Complex Variables book. He does this as every one else - by reading and solving exercises and thinking about what he learned. If he had a question I would be happy to help him.

But my impression from your letter that sounds very enthusiastic is that you in fact do not care a little bit. Nah, I can't spent of my time on this. I would not mind if a visitor wanted to answer your question, but no, I do not have time to oblige every one's whim.

All the best,
Alexander Bogomolny
