rabinabo: You are kinda making my point for me. Take the 2% of bikers and figure only a fraction of that small number would read and digest such a work and you have a handfull of Americans. Now present such a paper of limited interest to a teacher who's grade you are depending on......unless that person pedaled to school that morning, I hold out little hope of anything but a C at best. And that to just have done with it.

It's a boring subject. The OP was presenting the thing for a grade. I was simply pointing out that he (or she) could find a more palatable theme to subject his teacher to. It's about getting a good grade, not saving humanity.

Funny you mention math. There is no more usefull field in the modern world and no more sleep inducing for the general population. But you already know that.
